Receive warning of impending downtime
A leading manufacturer of metalworking products provides prototype pars and mass production for various industries. The company wanted to complement their massive lube systems to eliminate downtime and lost production.
- CNC and stamping equipment lube systems were all maintained manually.
- Increased production led to increased press failure casued by damaged bearings from insufficiient greasing.
moneo monitors press lubrication and warns of equipment downtime
ifm’s moneo Real-time Monitoring System forms a complete solution to ensure a steady flow of lubrication is maintained to eliminate downtime in press machinery.
- ifm sensors detect oil pressure, temperature and level in lubrication systems. moneo software converts the sensor values into relevant information.
- moneo reacts quickly to changing parameters via an integrated alarm management system.
Bearing temperature is an indicator of wear. moneo provides alarms when limits are exceeded.
Monitoring oil pressure assures the appropriate amount of lubrication is delivered to prevent damage.
