Rexroth have acquired a majority share in IGUS ITS GmbH based in Dresden, Germany. IGUS ITS develops, manufactures and sells condition monitoring systems for wind energy plants. The company employs nine associates and had a 2008 turnover of approx. EUR 700,000. An agreement has been made not to disclose the purchase price.
The condition monitoring systems manufactured by IGUS ITS monitor the condition of rotor blades in wind energy plants and also offer the option of diagnosing the formation of ice on the rotor blades. IGUS ITS is the only provider of this technology worldwide.
"The application of condition monitoring systems improves the total cost of ownership of wind energy plants, allowing us to offer our customers a greater economic benefit," explains Dr. Albert Hieronimus, Chairman of the Board of Management at Bosch Rexroth.
Bosch Rexroth has been involved in wind energy technology since the mid 80s and today offers a wide range of gears as well as hydraulic solutions for wind energy plants. With the addition of these condition monitoring systems solutions, Bosch Rexroth now offers an extended range of products for this growing industry.
