WITTENSTEIN SE

Logo of the company WITTENSTEIN

WITTENSTEIN alpha is the first component manufacturer to offer smart gearboxes as a standard – gearboxes with cynapse® and Smart Services independently record operating data within machines and systems and communicate these in the IIoT. Thanks to ctrlX OS, customers can easily use these advantages and integrate them into their system solutions.

Predictive maintenance

Using available data in the ctrlX Data Layer, the Smart Service cynapse® Analyze with the Health Index analysis tool enables real-time analysis of drive train data and evaluation of the actual load on the gearbox. Uncontrolled downtimes are avoided, and availability is increased with appropriate recommendations for action regarding the service or replacement of the gearbox.

Process monitoring

Gearboxes with cynapse® in combination with Smart Services provide insights into the current and historic operating behavior of drive axes and production processes in order to recognize critical operating conditions at an early stage. Without any need for programming and easy-to-use as an app, precise threshold values can be determined automatically.

Enabler for higher-level features

Interference oscillations in the machine can be compensated with data from the smart gearbox and active intervention in the control unit. Higher achievable travel speeds result in increased productivity. In addition, a reduction in vibration amplitudes protects the mechanical components and reduces energy consumption.

Advantages

  • Simple plug-and-play system without additional programming required
  • Avoid uncontrolled downtime and increase availability
  • WITTENSTEIN expertise in digital services
  • Easy and convenient determination of threshold values
  • Logging of important events of the drive train in a history

Target groups

  • Machine Builder
  • Machine Operater
  • System Integrator

Topology

Flexible integration

Integration of cynapse® via IO-Link and Ethernet connection, when using WITTENSTEIN apps such as cynpase® Monitor.

Alternatively, integration via IO-Link and EtherCAT, for using sensor data in the PLC program.
