The umati (universal machine tool interface) network was launched with the aim of driving digital networking forward by means of universal, standardised interfaces. Lenord + Bauer's contribution to the project is intelligent encoder kits that allow process data to be transferred in a uniform language. This delivers new approaches to condition monitoring.

Lenord + Bauer supports Industry 4.0 applications. The specialist in motion sensors and integrated drive technology expands the product range by a decentral control unit that allows the remote access to positioning drives. This opens up new possibilities for condition monitoring.

Information about the condition of machine components is essential to avoid unplanned downtimes. That is why the MiniCODERs with digital interface from Lenord + Bauer supply additional information such as temperature, operating hours and warning messages as well as the rotational speed and position.
