Sick"s sHub smart sensor hub helps to prevent machine downtime
Sick has launched the sHub sensor hub, a smart add-on to its HIPERFACE DSL single-cable motor feedback system, which turns servo motors into a source of data for real-time condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of machines.
The compact Sick sHub sensor hub fits snugly as an extension to Sick EDS/EDM35 motor feedback encoders to send temperature, vibration, position, and speed data via HIPERFACE DSL to the servo controller. The Sick sHub can therefore assure early detection of critical mechanical failures, such as ball bearing damage or motor imbalance, to pre-empt machinery downtime.
