This advanced system determines chain elongation by measuring the position of the inlet head, eliminating friction between moving components. By operating within the permitted elongation range, the chain’s performance and longevity are optimized.

The continuous monitoring of chain elongation allows operators to accurately determine the chain’s service life and fully utilize it before sending it to the clip workshop for an overhaul. This innovative approach ensures precise maintenance planning and reduces downtime, significantly enhancing productivity.

With this latest development, DORNIER reaffirms its commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that maximize efficiency and reliability for its customers.
