Smartlink sensor tests baler chain-drive system
A
Renold Chain product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Sep 9, 2009
Renold Chain has helped Vermeer, an agricultural and construction equipment manufacturer, to test the chain-drive system on its 605 Super M cornstalk baler with Renold's Smartlink chain sensor.
Three Smartlink devices were fitted to the side plates of the three chains to be tested.
During the various test procedures, the Smartlink units continuously collected electronic data on all the loading applied to the chain during working conditions.
At the end of the tests the data was downloaded to a hand-held remote control device by means of Smartlink's infrared link.
This information was then analysed on a PC using Renold's software.
Smartlink can be used on a range of applications including theme-park rides, food processing, conveying and materials handling.
