In the 3C connector manufacturing industry, stamping and bending machines are core equipment, and their operational accuracy and stability directly affect product quality and production efficiency. However, traditional equipment often faces numerous challenges during operation, such as inaccurate angle monitoring, large temperature control errors, and inadequate safety protection, leading to increased product defect rates and frequent equipment failures, severely hindering enterprise development.

AKUSENSE Sensors, leveraging its deep technological accumulation and industry experience, has tailored a comprehensive sensor application solution for stamping and bending equipment. This provides equipment manufacturers with a precise, efficient, and safe new approach to intelligent control, helping companies stand out in the fierce market competition.

Bending Equipment
Bending Angle Monitoring
Vibration Sensor MJL326T-90-A1
Application Scenarios: In bending operations, the accuracy of the bending angle is a key factor determining product quality. Sensors are required to monitor the current bending angle of the bending machine in real time and accurately, promptly feeding the angle data back to the control system. Operators can then quickly adjust equipment parameters based on this data, ensuring that every bend strictly meets test requirements, effectively avoiding product defects caused by angle deviations, and significantly improving the product yield.
Solution:
1. Utilizes AKUSENSE MJL dual-axis tilt sensor to monitor angle changes during bending in real time, improving testing efficiency and accuracy.
2. Supports analog and RS-485 outputs.
3. 0.1° high-precision measurement ensures product quality and consistency. Real-time output with no data delay.

Bending Machine Temperature Monitoring
TTS Series Temperature Sensor
Application Scenarios: During bending, temperature significantly impacts material properties and bending results. The TTS temperature sensor accurately measures the temperature field within the bending machine, providing precise temperature data for the test chamber. Based on this data, the control system can adjust the heating or cooling devices in real time, achieving precise temperature control of the test chamber, creating a stable temperature environment for the bending process, and ensuring product quality stability.
Solutions:
1. For detecting metallic objects, an infrared short-wave sensor is required. AKUSENSE TTS series temperature sensors are recommended, as they use non-contact infrared temperature measurement and are unaffected by cutting operations.
2. Wide measurement range: This series can measure up to 800℃, with high repeatability (±1%).
3. Analog current and voltage are available; real-time data output prevents delays in numerical judgment.

Sheet Material Positioning
Photoelectric Sensor PTE-TEM10NR
Application Scenario: Accurate placement of the sheet material directly affects the smooth progress of subsequent processes. A sensor is needed to monitor the sheet material's position and provide a signal to proceed to the next step.
Solution:
1. Using a AKUSENSE PTE long-range through-beam photoelectric sensor, once the sheet material is in place, the sensor immediately sends a signal to notify the equipment to proceed to the next step, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing production interruptions caused by missing sheet material.
2. With a monitoring distance of 10 meters, it can quickly and accurately detect whether the sheet material has reached the designated position within milliseconds.

Bending Pressure Monitoring
Pressure Sensor TF7170-200N
Application Scenarios: FPCs of different thicknesses or materials require specific pressures for precise bending. A sensor needs to output pressure values in real time to prevent incomplete bending due to insufficient pressure or damage to the FPC sheet due to excessive pressure, effectively ensuring product quality stability.
Solutions:
1. Using the AKUSENSE TF7170 pressure sensor provides accurate feedback of the actual pressure value and transmits the pressure data to the control system in real time. The system can then precisely adjust the bending pressure based on this data.
2. Multiple sizes and ranges are available to meet most scenarios.

Area Safety Protection
Safety Light Curtain BEL Series
Application Scenarios:Personnel safety is paramount during the operation of bending equipment. Safety sensors are needed to detect personnel entering and exiting the doorway, promptly identifying potential safety hazards.
Solution:
Using a AKUSENSE BEL safety light curtain allows for real-time detection of personnel entering and exiting the doorway. When someone enters a dangerous area, the sensor immediately issues an alarm and stops the equipment, promptly detecting potential safety hazards and providing reliable safety for operators.

Punching Machine

Temperature Sensor (TTS)
Application Scenario: Punching machines are prone to overheating during prolonged operation, which not only affects equipment performance and lifespan but may also lead to a decline in product quality. A sensor is needed to monitor the temperature in real time.
Solution:
1. Use the AKUSENSE TTS series temperature sensor. The TTS temperature sensor, specifically designed for metals, can monitor the punch press temperature in real time, with a measurement range of 0-300°C.
2. Both long-wave and short-wave models are available, especially the short-wave infrared thermography function specifically designed for detecting metal surface temperature. When the temperature exceeds the set value, the sensor will promptly issue a warning signal, reminding operators to take appropriate measures to prevent overheating and ensure the stable operation of the punch press.

Real-time monitoring of punch press vibration
Vibration sensor MJA394B-40
Application scenario: Mechanical abnormalities are one of the common causes of punch press failures. Therefore, installing sensors to monitor the punch press's subtle vibrations in real time can effectively reduce equipment failures by promptly detecting and addressing mechanical abnormalities.
Solution:
1. Using a AKUSENSE MJA vibration sensor enables real-time monitoring of the punch press's vibration, transmitting the vibration data to the control system for analysis. When the vibration amplitude exceeds the normal range, the system issues an alarm signal, prompting operators to perform maintenance, preventing mechanical malfunctions in advance and extending the equipment's lifespan.
2. Supports multi-directional measurement along the X, Y, and Z axes, with high resonant frequency and resolution/threshold <1mg(max)@ 1Hz.
3. 485 communication output allows for real-time vibration detection.

Roll Material Offset Measurement
ETD-0306 Correction Sensor
Application Scenarios: During the stamping process, lateral offset of the roll material can lead to decreased product quality and reduced production efficiency. Ensuring accurate feeding is crucial.
Solution:
1. Select the AKUSENSE ETD series mini web guiding sensor. Its compact size and easy installation allow for detecting lateral offset of the coil material with an accuracy of up to 1μm and a measuring range of 6mm.
2. When the coil material shifts, the sensor promptly sends a correction signal to adjust the position of the feeding device, ensuring the coil material remains in the correct position and guaranteeing feeding accuracy.
