MoniBolt

Bolt tension Monitoring by Fibre Optic Sensor Screw "MoniBolt"

 

The fibre optic sensor screw "MoniBolt"  simply replaces the previous scew , without any remarkable loss of stability  compared to the previous system.

 

A fibre optic cable  is simply connected to the fibre optic coupling placed in the screw head. This cable connects the evaluation unit to the sensor, so that both a permanent and a sporadic monitoring is realizable without recalibration.

This is of great advantage especially for quality and working process management.

 

The available bolt sizes run from M 16 to M 64 , bigger sizes on request.

 

Among appropriate applications are safety-relevant screw connections in power plants, high pressure machinery, chemical reactors and nuclear facilities. Early-warning systems for critical screw joints (leakage detection, prevention of costly material loss) are easily set up, in order to eliminate expensive maintenance teams with complex tool equipment.
