Successful cooperation between R+W and core sensing for sensor integration in series products
Solution by pooling expertise
To meet these challenges, R+W and core sensing pooled their expertise. R+W is contributing its many years of experience as a specialist in high-precision coupling and flange systems, while core sensing is contributing its expertise in IoT sensor integration for rotating components. This combination results in a compact, easy-to-maintain sensor system that requires no external superstructures and can be seamlessly integrated into existing machines.
iFLANGE – Intelligent flange system with coreIN sensor technology
With its combination of mechanical precision and digital intelligence , the iFlange takesa decisive step towards smart drive technology.
- Real-time torque monitoring without additional superstructures
- Continuous measurement thanks to compact induction coil and pickup
- Simple integration thanks to a fully-fledged component instead of complex sensor retrofitting
- Configuration and system connection via app and gateway
- Flexible interfaces consisting of hubs, bellows, elastomer and disk couplings
Outlook for networked sensor-based drive technology
With the market launch of the iFLANGE, R+W is sending out a clear signal: The future of drive technology is networked, sensor-based and ready for Industry 4.0.
The close cooperation will result in further product series with integrated coreIN IoT sensor technology in the future, in order to make machine processes even more transparent, safe and efficient.
