countroll® SensorWireless condition monitoring
Collecting data starts with measuring right at the source. Therefore countroll® developed a unique wireless sensor that measures the movements of rotating rollers while being attached to it. It’s the only sensor in the market that can record multiple parameters and use a smartphone as a gateway, which means no additional gateway or multiple sensor costs.
This sensor helps you gaining insight into your machine line, optimize your production process and increase productivity based on the continuous condition monitoring. Data analysis, anomaly detection and diagnostics of your roller and machine condition opens the door to preventive and predictive maintenance.
countroll® Sensor applications
Roller nip misalignment
When rollers drift even slightly out of alignment, they create uneven tension across your materials. The countroll Sensor detects misalignment wihout halting production. Read more here.
Slip of the web
Slip causes friction at surfaces that typically don't slide against each other, leading to wear on roller coverings, belts, and gears. The countroll sensor warns you when slip occurs by detecting any jerky rotational velocity patterns.
Speed Mismatch Sensing
A straightforward application is to compare the rotational speeds of two rollers that should be synchronized. If one roller is driving the web and the next driven roller (or an idler) is expected to turn at the same surface speed, any significant difference in RPM indicates slip between them.
