AIQ DETECT
UPGRADE FOR UPTIME
Equip your flexible coupling with AIQ Detect and benefit from greater operational reliability and less unplanned downtime.
Equip your flexible coupling with AIQ Detect and benefit from greater operational reliability and less unplanned downtime.
AIQ Detect turns your flexible N-EUPEX and RUPEX coupling into a smart component. The digital coupling sensor monitors the wear condition of the elastomers and also measures the direction of rotation and speed. This allows you to monitor the condition of your coupling around the clock.
Continuous and permanent monitoring of the clutch with AIQ Detect prevents unplanned failures and increases operational reliability. Above all, however, it is also the basis for condition-based maintenance. Instead of replacing the elastomers at regular intervals, thanks to AIQ Detect, the replacement can now be carried out in a targeted manner and only when necessary. This is not only economical, but also sustainable.
With AIQ Detect, the condition of your flexible coupling is always assessed in the same way based on valid measured values. Therefore, there is no need to teach or train personnel for monitoring. As soon as the wear limit of the elastomers is reached, the sensor reports the change in condition. There is still enough time to plan maintenance. Annual routine maintenance can mean several hours of time and system downtime. AIQ Detect can save you this effort in the long term
The sensor not only checks the wear of the elastomers, but also records every revolution of the coupling. Based on this data, AIQ Detect can determine and output the speed and direction of rotation. This allows you to ensure that the driveline is moving correctly at all times.
When purchasing a new N-EUPEX or RUPEX, you can configure it with the AIQ Detect Ready option when ordering. Your coupling will then be equipped ex works with the magnets that the sensor needs for its measurements. Everything is then ready for use with the AIQ Detect. Of course, you can also order the AIQ Detect sensor simultaneously. You can then keep an eye on the condition of your clutch immediately after installation. AIQ Detect can also be retrofitted to any N-EUPEX and RUPEX, so you can easily make your existing couplings smart. The magnets required for the measurement must then be retrofitted.
To retrofit your already installed N-EUPEX or RUPEX coupling with an AIQ Detect sensor, coupling-specific upgrade packages and an installation kit are available. You can order both in the FLENDER Mall. If your coupling is already AIQ Ready, the installation kit is not necessary. You can find out more about the contents of the packages and direct links to order the products in the mall on the right-hand side.
Regardless of which package you choose, installing the AIQ Detect is simple and quick. Especially when you consider that the benefits are available to you for the entire service life of the clutch. The installation video guides you through the process step by step and shows you the necessary steps. You can also watch the process in the AIQ Detect short video.
