Smart, reliable energy supply in the smallest of spaces

The new theatre e-spool® now comes with various smart features: The spring force of the three springs included is monitored using an inductive sensor. If the force falls below this level, the IM5132 sensor with correction factor 1 notifies the user to replace the spring. If the force is exceeded, there is a blockage that must be removed.

A rotation sensor monitor can also be installed to count the drum revolutions and determine the position of the chain. As further protection to increase system safety, i.Sense EC.P could also be installed at the moving end of the chain in future for intelligent tension/push force monitoring.

Tech up

• Increased system safety through permanent function monitoring
• Extension of the maximum service life of the theatre e-spool®
• Measurement and display of the current extension length
• Remote access to real-time status information of the energy supply

Reduce costs

• Avoid system downtimes and expensive follow-up costs thanks to integrated breakage detection
• Reduce maintenance costs thanks to immediate alerts in the event of e-spool anomalies®
• Space-saving design without additional monitoring equipment

Proof

• Ongoing test series in the industry's largest test laboratory  for dynamic energy transfer systems
• Numerous successful energy management applications
  with i.Sense condition monitoring

sustainability

• Avoidance of resource-intensive emergency operations
• Have your energy chain or drag chain recycled at the end of its life cycle in the igus® chainge® recycling programme. No matter which manufacturer.

"Less effort, higher availability"

"Less maintenance, higher availability, the ability to manage all the different cables and hoses in one system, intelligent condition monitoring i.Sense ... I would always use intelligent energy chain from igus® again!"
