Roland’s full programme on show

At the EuroBLECH Exhibition in Hanover, Roland Electronic showed its complete programme of automation products for the sheet metal processing industry.

The highlights at the show were:

UDK20: Double sheet detection for all metals. UDK20 is especially in the focus of all automotive manufacturers which produce aluminium body parts. Press shop managers prefer the easy Teach-In and the availability of all modern Fieldbus interfaces such as ProfiNet and Ethernet/IP. NS9N-AAD-SC: Weld seam detection for narrow steel strips. This new sensor detects within milliseconds the arrival of a weld seam and thus protects the tools of fast going punching presses. A must-have for all makers of semi-finished products and metal fittings. Exhibition innovation: A non-contacting double sheet detection system of new technology. Designed for operation in high-speed press lines with magnet conveyors. Sheets are checked at full conveyor speed and thus double sheet detection does not create any limitations to the press throughput.
