The latest joint product innovation from R+W and core sensing is on the market
Digitalization has reached mechanical engineering and places high demands on the automation and networking of machines and processes. The intelligent bellows coupling iBK from R+W and core sensing is a groundbreaking solution that meets the requirements of Industry 4.0.
Monitoring torque, speed and position - the iBK makes it possible
The iBK is an innovative coupling that enables efficient monitoring of torque, speed and position by means of integrated sensors. The measured data is permanently recorded, evaluated and forwarded. Overloads and operating conditions can thus be precisely recorded. Integration into existing systems is also possible, as the iBK can act as an intelligence implant.
Smart and efficient - the advantages of iBK
Compared to previous intelligent bellows couplings from R+W, the iBK is shorter and the measurement data obtained can be transferred directly to the cloud, to a mobile device or through gateways. The internal electronics process the data directly and transmit it simultaneously to a connected mobile device or via gateway directly into the machine control or to a PC.
R+W app - measurement data at a glance
With the specially developed R+W app, the measurement data can be displayed and recorded easily and intuitively. The clear display of all measured values with average and extreme values as well as the graphic display in time-dependent diagrams or X-Y diagrams facilitate the evaluation of the data. Up to four connected sensor units can be used simultaneously and a recording function for all measured values allows the data to be exported in CSV format. In addition, the app provides information and settings for the Intelligent Coupling and the R+W Gateway.
iBK is the future of mechanical engineering
The iBK from R+W and core sensing is a groundbreaking solution for mechanical engineering, enables smart and efficient monitoring of machines and plants and paves the way for predictive maintenance and condition monitoring. The integrated sensor technology and the easy-to-use R+W app make the iBK an indispensable part of Industry 4.0. With the iBK, companies are ready for IIoT and digitalization in mechanical engineering.
