Monitoring of cable tensile force (CF.P) with the aid of cables

Sensor for smart cable | isense CF.P

This sensor likes to "stand" on the cable
Cables that run in an energy chain require a particularly intensive "look". The CF.P sensor measures the forces directly at the strain relief at the fixed end of the e-chain® and helps you to realistically assess the stress on the cable. If a cable within an e-chain® is loaded above the target value, the CF.P sensor records and transmits these values. If necessary, a system shutdown or an alarm can be triggered. This protects your cable, your systems and extends their service life. You can find the right CF.P sensor for your cable in the configurator.

The CF.P sensor measures the tensile forces on the cables
Permanently increased tensile forces can lead to cable damage and, in the worst case, to a cable fire
The CF.P sensor recognises incorrectly performed maintenance on the cables
Data is stored on an SD card and can be read out for analysis

CF.P on a container crane

Perfect protection for the cable
Konstantin Schmer shows where a CF.P unit is mounted on a crane. The system can be retrofitted to almost all igus® cable carrier systems.
If you also have a crane with an energy chain from igus®, would like a retrofit and are looking for reliable protection against damage to the cable, we would be happy to advise you.
