DCS Etherline Guard from LAPP North America 1 400x275

ETHERLINE® GUARD from LAPP North America

 

Until now, there were only two alternatives for the maintenance of machine parts and plants: either parts were only replaced if they were already defective, or parts that were still functional 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: preventative maintenance. The idea behind this is to carry out maintenance measures depending on actual performance.

DCS Auto Idle PS61 Series Switch from Gems Sensors and Controls 1 400x275

Auto-Idle – PS61 Series Pressure Switch from Gems Sensors & Controls

 

As emissions regulations continue to get stricter, OEMS are looking for ways to meet or beat the specifications to ensure that their equipment is in compliance. One of the largest adders to emissions is idling gas/diesel-powered equipment. As an operator is using a machine, they will increase the idle RPM so that there is plenty of power on the PTO (Power Take Off). Having this extra power allows the machinery to operate efficiently and without strain.
