EXTENDED SENSING DISTANCE AVOIDS RISK OF MECHANICAL
DAMAGE
Contrinex’s innovative sensors provide affordable detection of
overlapping metal sheets. They can protect a press-line by
checking that two metal blanks are not presented to the
forming press, or alternatively ensure two pieces of metal are
present for example in an automotive welding assembly –
Sometimes two’s too many, but sometimes you just need two.
CUSTOMER APPLICATION
A producer of deep-drawn metal parts for the automotive
industry uses Contrinex’s double-sheet sensing to prevent
costly tool damage and downtime.
Deep drawing and other metal-forming techniques are widely
used in the automotive industry, which requires expensive
press tools to produce complex profiles from sheet metal
blanks. During high-volume production, an automated feeder
loads sheets of steel or aluminium to the press.
The metal sheets are lightly lubricated to reduce friction
during deep drawing, but the thin film of oil can cause two
sheets to stick together in the feeder. If the press operates with
such double sheets loaded, the forming tool will be damaged,
resulting in downtime and large repair costs. Therefore
sensing systems are used to check the material before it is
loaded.
Previously, the customer had trailed alternative sensor
technologies. All were excessively cumbersome and difficult to
set up, and most were unable to detect double sheets reliably.
APPLICATION - DOUBLE-SHEET DETECTION
SENSORS PROTECT PRESS LINES & IMPROVE OEE
Customer Solution
Contrinex offers a rugged, compact stainless-steel -bodied
sensor for the loading station, which checks each metal sheet
as it is presented by the feeder. If it detects a double sheet, the
material is rejected and the operating cycle inhibited, which
reduces expensive damage to tooling and improves OEE.
The sensor enables discrimination between single and double
metal sheets of a defined thickness of steel or aluminium in
the size range of 0.8 – 1.2mm thick.
A specialist version of Contrinex’s uniquely robust ‘700 Series’
family of inductive sensors, they share the benefits of being
both impact and abrasion resilient and having a case
machined from a single-piece of stainless-steel – These are the
sensors whose robustness is demonstrated by using them to
hammer in nails.
The reliability of their performance and robustness enable you
to minimise downtime and improve the OEE of Press-lines or
verify assembly operations.
CONTRINEX’S INNOVATIVE DOUBLE-SHEET DETECTION SENSORS RELIABLY DETECT
SINGLE OR DOUBLE SHEETS OF STEEL, STAINLESS-STEEL OR ALUMINIUM -
PROTECT A PRESS LINES FROM MIS-FEEDS OR ENSURE THE ASSEMBLY OF TWO METAL SHEETS
DOUBLE-SHEET DETECTION - 700 SERIES INDUCTIVE
Contrinex’s 700 Series includes a special if not ‘magical’
Double-sheet Detection Sensor which utilises inductive
technology to discriminate between one and two conductive
metal sheets of a defined thickness, in the range of 0.8 – 1.2 mm
per sheet.
This discrimination aids in the prevention of double feeds into
blanking and forming processes which ultimately saves
damage to tooling. Alternatively it can assure that two metal
pieces are supplied to an assembly operation.
The one-piece, stainless-steel construction of these sensors
makes them the most durable on the market. They withstand
the impacts that are a common hazard in double-sheet
detection applications, ensuring minimal down-time.
