Schweinfurt, Germany September 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Schaeffler will showcase a series of innovative products and solutions at EMO Hannover 2019, including mechanical components, drive products and digital solutions to improve the production efficiency, availability and production quality of machine tools ( booth number: Booth C46, Hall 7, ). One of the more obvious development trends is that the number of parts equipped with sensors in Schaeffler's product series is constantly increasing.
Spindle bearing monitoring system SpindleSense reduces downtime and improves equipment availability
The spindle is crucial to the overall performance of the machine tool. It is the core of the equipment and determines to a large extent the cutting capacity of the machine tool, the surface quality and machining accuracy of the workpiece. . In order to prevent the spindle from tool collision and monitor the spindle for a long time, Schaeffler launched the spindle bearing monitoring system SpindleSense. The first batch of SpindleSense sensor systems that are ready for mass production and delivered to customers for testing include a radial measurement ring and an axial measurement ring, both with an inner diameter of 70mm. Schaeffler will also launch systems with 80mm and 100mm inner diameters by the end of the year.
Automatic relubrication system DuraSense increases overall system efficiency
The DuraSense sensor system developed by Schaeffler is used to ensure the safe and reliable operation of INA linear recirculating ball or roller bearings and guide rail assemblies. It also monitors linear guides systems via vibration signals. tribological state. The system consists of a slide with special sensors and a preprocessing unit that can be connected to seven sensors simultaneously. Schaeffler DuraSense can detect two conditions: normal relubrication and insufficient relubrication. Unplanned and premature shutdowns are a headache for equipment manufacturers and users. Now, with Schaeffler DuraSense, shutdowns caused by insufficient lubrication or the inability to relubricate and maintain are a thing of the past.
Bearing solutions and dynamic motion systems for robotic automation
Today, industrial robots are increasingly playing an increasingly important role in providing efficient automation solutions for a wide range of operating and machining tasks. The application of industrial robots is accelerating due to increasing demand, declining related procurement costs, and technological advances in stiffness and load capacity. Articulated arm bearings play a decisive role in the load-carrying capacity, dynamic performance and accuracy of the robot. Schaeffler can provide corresponding solutions for the six axes of the robot to meet the specific requirements of each axis, including INA ZKLDF double row thrust angular contact ball bearings with extremely high tilt stiffness, and INA XSU series crossed roller bearings , FAG SGL series angular contact roller bearings and INA KUSE six-row monorail guidance system and other products.
In addition, in addition to innovative products and solutions for the M series spindle bearings, modularly designed direct-drive turntables and rotary axes that have been widely proven and recognized by the market, Schaeffler will also present the company for the first time at this exhibition Newly developed Autinity VibroControl and Autinity FactoryHub systems. VibroControl is an innovative production and processing process early warning system that can monitor and analyze the entire processing process based on vibration conditions. FactoryHub is a universal software tool developed for operators. Operators can use the software to record various operating data, evaluate and visualize operating data, and automatically generate reports and various other data.
These software solutions have been successfully used in Schaeffler plants for many years and have proven to have huge added value.The "Industry 4.0" strategic business unit develops industry-specific solutions to enable production equipment and facilities to achieve excellent performance throughout the entire product life cycle. Until now, monitoring solutions have been viewed as a means of predictive maintenance. Today, they are also increasingly used to increase equipment utilization, improve processing quality, and reduce scrap rates, thereby increasing production efficiency.
