ProductThe ROBO-SMART Portable Unit for structural bearings is a compact, self-powered integrated acquisition unit for on-site evaluation of structural bearings equipped with ROBO-SMART sensors. The unit transfers measurement data via USB to a laptop for presentation and analysis using a desktop application.
Characteristics- User-friendly evaluation of bearings equipped with ROBO-SMART sensors
- Ability to measure multiple bearings with a single system
- On-site data analysis without external power supply or mandatory web/cloud transfer
PrincipleThe portable unit connects to durable, precision sensors embedded in the bearing. These sensors provide measurements that are transferred via USB to any laptop running the desktop application for visualization and analysis. Load cells and displacement/movement sensors can be factory-installed or retrofitted on site. The unit can perform measurements on up to two bearings simultaneously and can be reconnected to other bearings as required.
ApplicationsAny type of structural bearing from mageba’s range can be equipped with an integrated structural health monitoring system. The ROBO-SMART Portable Unit supports life-cycle cost optimisation by measuring current load distribution (for example during heavy-load transports or refurbishment). It also provides measured load, rotation and movement data to define maximum loads and to optimise the design of replacement bearings or expansion joints.
