SONICWEAR | ULTRASONIC WEAR MEASUREMENT
Measuring screw wear—without removing the screw
SonicWear enables the measurement of screw and cylinder wear using ultrasound – without removal the screw. For well-informed maintenance decisions based based actual measurement data.
THE CHALLENGE
How strong is your snail actually worn out?
Wear on screws and cylinders occurs gradually. Often it the actual condition only at a thorough inspection .
Conventional measurements require often the removal of the screw. This costs time and makes it a regular condition monitoring.
THE SOLUTION
Wear on Worm Gears and cylinder measure – without disassembly.
SonicWear uses ultrasound, to determine degree of wear of screws and cylinders of the outside to . The measurement is via sensors on the plasticizing cylinder, without causing the screw for the measurement removed must .
So you can changes in wear condition be recurring measurements documented and maintenance decisions based on a objective basis of data are be made.
PROVEN IN INDUSTRIAL SETTINGS
Wear Measurement in the industrial application
The SonicWear technology is already in industrial extrusion systems in use. The integration at EREMA shows how it the wear condition of a plasticizing unit based on regular ultrasonic measurements over extended periods monitor .
EREMA – PredictOn Plastification Unit
EREMA's PredictOn system uses Moldsonics' ultrasonic technology to monitor the wear condition of the plasticizing unit. Regular measurements make it possible to track changes over time and monitor wear limits.
POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What you about SonicWear should should
Does the screw need to be removed for the measurement?
No. SonicWear enables ultrasonic wear measurement from the outside of the plasticizing cylinder. The screw does not need to be removed for the measurement.
Is SonicWear also suitable for existing machines?
Retrofitting existing machines is generally possible. Technical feasibility depends, among other things, on the cylinder geometry and the installation options for the sensors. We would be happy to assess whether your machine is suitable for retrofitting.
Can wear be monitored over an extended period of time?
Yes. Regular ultrasonic measurements allow the progression of wear to be documented over extended periods of time. Changes become apparent and can serve as the basis for condition-based maintenance planning.
Can SonicWear be integrated into the machine control system?
Yes. SonicWear can be integrated into machine and monitoring systems. The specific implementation depends on the available interfaces and the machine manufacturer's requirements.
