Technical Paper on CMS

CMS sensor systems for condition monitoring (CMS = condition monitoring system) have been in use in large-scale production plants for many years to minimize profit losses through production downtimes and costly maintenance work. Application examples are rotary kilns in cement plants, conveying systems in mining, pipe-jacking machines in tunnel construction, power plant turbines or wind power stations. Thanks to recent progress in sensor technology and increasing availability of high-speed data networks, CMS systems are now becoming interesting also for less expensive capital goods such as injection molding machines. Here, WITTMANN BATTENFELD has blazed the trail and offers CMS equipment as an optional extra for its injection molding machines.
