An extensive package of sensors, with which your industrial gear unit is equipped, provides the database for this.

SEW-EURODRIVE has launched DriveRadar® for industrial gear units. Regardless of the industry in which you operate, unscheduled downtimes in production are the nightmare of every plant operator. Temporary production outages mean that costs soar instantly.

DriveRadar® for industrial gear units is an ultra-modern condition monitoring system, which digitally records and automatically assesses gear unit data. The results of such analyses can be used to evaluate the current condition of gear units. Forecasts derived from this also allow you to predict future changes in condition. All the results and findings obtained serve as a basis for predictive maintenance.

An extensive package of sensors, with which your industrial gear unit is equipped, provides the database for this. These sensors capture all operationally relevant physical parameters: vibration behavior, oil level, oil temperature, ambient temperature and input speed.

Your benefits

• Avoiding downtime: Transparency about the condition of gear units and forecasts for critical changes in condition make predictive and needs-based maintenance possible.

• Reduced maintenance costs: The condition-based planning of service and maintenance measures greatly extends your maintenance intervals.

• Targeted fault elimination: A precise localisation of faults and corresponding recommendations for action allow maintenance measures to be carried out in a targeted manner.

• Transparency from any location: The easy-to-use web application creates a rapid overview of the condition of gear units and components online and issues email or app-based notifications.

• Resource conservation: Maximising the oil service life by determining the usage-dependent oil condition and the targeted replacement of rolling bearings, for example, make optimum use of parts possible.
