Detect cable stress earlier - with greater precision

Identifies early transmission faults in stressed bus cables

The i.Sense CF.D module represents the first true alternative in predictive maintenance for data, bus and ethernet cables, enabling intelligent, real-time monitoring of transmission quality during operation.

Designed for reliability, i.Sense CF.D continuously monitors the performance of heavily used and failure-prone ethernet cables, displaying their current status directly on the new multifunction module. The system can also determine the precise distance to a detected risk zone within the cable. This eliminates the need for time-consuming and costly troubleshooting.

With i.Sense CF.D, you can optimise maintenance planning, reduce downtime, and fully leverage the benefits of predictive maintenance with smart plastics technology.

Intelligent condition monitoring successfully implemented across real-world applications:

Tech up

Monitoring the data transmission quality
Determination of the distance to the overloaded cable area
Multifunctional control cabinet module with OLED display for key cable parameters

Cost down

Visual status display without extra tools or software costs
No time-consuming troubleshooting thanks to range finder
Indicator for timely line replacement - prevent unplanned system downtimes

Proof

Ongoing test program in the industry's largest test laboratory for dynamic cable applications

Sustainability

No extra cores necessary
Condition-based maintenance avoids premature product replacement

The machine works with really high stroke rates. That's why we needed high-strength cables. We also needed to find a preventive warning system to avoid cost-intensive downtime on this machine with its high output.
