Small but mighty ... the easiest entry into the world of sensors

Modern industry would be unthinkable without sensors as data sources. With smart plastic, we have been consistently moving in this direction for almost 10 years and develop new, intelligent monitoring systems for energy supply, cable and linear guide every year.

Now we want to make this accessible to even more users and are entering the world of low-cost sensor technology with our smart plastics DIY tools. These combine numerous different sensor types for measuring moving applications under one roof and enable the user to optimise their application based on data. These include various web measuring systems, rotary sensors and matching microcontrollers for direct data evaluation on site.

Tech up

• Improve your own product and process quality based on data
• Direct connection to the plant control system (PLC) possible via potential-free contacts

Cost down

• More cost-effective and faster entry into the world of sensors; also suitable for DIY applications
• Avoid unplanned downtimes thanks to condition-based data streams

Proof

• Proven use over many years in the 3,800m² test laboratory at igus

Sustainability

• Low-cost sensors save expensive product development costs
• Condition-based maintenance avoids unnecessary or premature product replacement
