What exactly is an integrated gear motor with remote diagnostic capabilities?
Ein integrated gear motor with remote diagnostic capabilities is a drive unit that combines motor, gear, and intelligent sensors. This enables the continuous monitoring of operating data remotely, to analyze the drive’s condition and detect potential problems early.
What specific advantages does this technology offer for my production?
The main advantages are a significant reduction in unplanned downtimes, optimized maintenance intervals, and thus lower maintenance costs. This leads to a higher system availability and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
How does the remote diagnostic capability work technically?
Sensors integrated or attached to the gear motor continuously capture data such as vibration, temperature, and current consumption. This data is transmitted via secure connections to an analysis system that wie Vibration, Temperatur und Stromaufnahme. Diese Daten werden über gesicherte Verbindungen an ein Analyse-System übertragen, das detects deviations from the normal condition and reports maintenance needs.
How secure is the data transmission and processing in remote diagnostics?
ATEK Drive Solutions places the highest value on data security. We rely on encrypted transmission paths, access controls, and standardized, secure communication protocols such as OPC UA to reliably protect your operating data.
Which industries and applications are these intelligent gear motors particularly suitable for?
They are ideally suited for challenging applications in machine and plant engineering, packaging industry, logistics and storage, as well as in many other manufacturing sectors where maximum availability and efficiency are required.
Can existing systems also be retrofitted with remote diagnostic capabilities?
Yes, in many cases retrofitting is possible. ATEK offers consultation and solutions, to expand existing drive systems with sensors and connectivity for remote diagnostics, often through modular components.
What data is collected and how does it help prevent failures?
Typically, parameters such as motor temperature, bearing vibrations, oil quality, and current consumption are monitored. Changes in these values can indicate wear, overload, or other impending problems early, allowing for corrective measures to be taken before a failure occurs.
