Capturing and analysing operating data over time enables engineers to uncover hidden performance issues and identify intermittent faults. Data also facilitates deeper understanding of how machines behave in real-world conditions. Modern hydraulic dataloggers offer the insight needed for faster diagnosis and improved system performance, as well as more effective maintenance. Martin Cuthbert, Managing Director, Webtec, explains further. 20 PNEUMATICS 22 INTEGRATED SYSTEMS 24 APPLICATIONS Additive manufacturing is opening up new ways to design and produce hydraulic and pneumatic components.
