Compact monitoring device for data cables Until now, there were only two options for maintaining machine and plant parts: either parts were replaced if they were already defective, or parts that still worked were replaced at specific intervals as a precaution. However, thanks to Industry 4.0 and digitalization, there is a more efficient alternative to reactive maintenance: preventive maintenance. The idea behind this is to carry out maintenance measures depending on actual performance. Which is also possible for connection systems, such as cables or connectors. Although LAPP cables last for many years, in situations with highly dynamic movements at high speeds and strong torsion, it is advantageous and more cost-effective to monitor cables to avoid unexpected stops that impair productivity. ETHERLINE® GUARD is the latest innovative solution from LAPP This compact device monitors the performance of ethernet cables and, when there is a risk of failure, displays what the fault […]

ETHERLINE® GUARD Until now, there were two alternatives for the maintenance of machine components in the industry: Maintenance is carried out when there is a breakdown or maintenance is carried out only at scheduled intervals as a preventive measure. However, due to digitalisation and Industry 4.0, predictive maintenance is more efficient than reactive or preventive maintenance. The idea will be to maintain the systems depending on the performance status of the components. Predictive maintenance is also possible be applied to cables and connectors. Although LAPP cables last for years, in situations with great demands on movement, speed and torsion, it is advantageous and more economical to monitor the wires to avoid prolonged and unexpected stops of the systems that lead to production breaks. ETHERLINE® GUARD is an innovative solution from LAPP. A compact device that monitors the state of health of ethernet cables subject to significant physical and dynamic stress […]
