Helwig Carbon Products & Carbex are expanding implementation and support of the i-BRUSH Carbon Brush Remote Monitoring System across North American industrial markets with three model options designed to support a broad range of condition monitoring needs and operating environments. The i-BRUSH monitoring system is well suited for power generation, manufacturing, mining & other industrial applications where continuous performance and reliability are critical. Helwig Carbon & Carbex have entered into a strategic partnership that establishes Helwig as the exclusive North American distributor for the i-BRUSH monitoring system within select core market segments, helping operators improve reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and strengthen predictive maintenance practices. Developed by Carbex and proven through years of successful implementation worldwide, the i-BRUSH system provides continuous, real-time insight into carbon brush condition and performance in rotating electrical equipment. The system measures brush wear, brush temperature, brush current, brush current density, ambient temperature and humidity, and brush vibration, helping operators prevent catastrophic failures such as flashover and fire, optimize performance of slip rings and components, and proactively plan maintenance. By delivering continuous monitoring & early warning indicators, the i-BRUSH system helps maintenance teams better understand equipment behavior and identify potential problems.
