Maximising vibrating machine uptime
Schenck Process, Darmstadt, Germany, has introduced CONiQ, a condition monitoring device for vibrating machines which operates on the principle of predictive maintenance. This innovation allows the company to consolidate its position as a provider of intelligent Industry 4.0 applications. Damage and wear are detected and components can be repaired or replaced before they lead to more serious damage or stoppages. Significant cracks or defects in a screen’s body are also detected. CONiQ continuously monitors the vibration of machines and components as well as oil temperature. These metrics are automatically analysed compared with preconfigured initial and limit values, and interpreted for possible root causes.
“Companies that until now have relied on corrective maintenance need to change their thinking in a competitive environment, in which downtime has become more expensive than ever,” said Jan Schaefer, product manager Schenck Process R&D. www.schenckprocess.com
