Automotive: Press Shop and Stamping
Metal Stamping and Press Shop
Used in the Press Shop, Banner products and solutions improve productivity and ensure operator safety. Rugged, cost effective and flexible, our Laser sensors solve a wide variety of error-proofing applications.
Easy to use and implement, Banner’s full line of safety products simplify safety processes and provide maintenance personnel and plant engineers the tools they need to create a safe work environment and keep equipment running. Rugged, industrial-rated LED lights enhance worker effectiveness, experience and safety by providing brilliant illumination to light task and inspection areas, as well as presses. Easy to deploy, wireless I/O systems enable remote monitoring of equipment and processes to ensure smooth and continuous operation and support predictive maintenance programs that minimize machine downtime.
Applications
Sheet Metal Thickness Measurement
Precise and consistent sensing while material moves down a conveyor measuring thickness at micron levels.
Multiple Point Inspection on Stamped Metal Parts
To verify the expected number of holes exists on a small metal part, the iVu Plus TG Image Sensor with Multipoint Inspections can be configured for multiple regions of interest (ROIs) to ensure holes exist and were punched in the correct place. When set up for area inspection, the iVu will scan multiple points on the stamped part to verify the presence or absence of a feature or features of interest.

Success Stories
Detecting Parts Ejected from Die
In the manufacturer's facility, operators manually insert and remove metal parts from the die press. When complete, the parts are sent into a bin via a metal chute. In order to prevent die crash (having double parts in the press at once) the customer needed a sensor that could detect various parts on the chute and send a signal to the control system, indicating that the press is free and allowing the operator to perform another stroke. The solution needed to be installed without cutting slots in the chute sides or mounting sensors at the end of the chute, which could create catch points for traveling parts.
LED Lights Illuminate Control Cabinet
Operators access machine systems through the control cabinet and need Intense illumination of the cabinet facilitates for maintenance and management.
Superior Light Distribution with LEDs
American Hoffmann Corporation chose WLB32 LED light bars to illuminate work areas, enclosures and control cabinets, replacing fluorescent light fixtures. The superior light distribution offered by the WLB32 LED lights lights, as well as the ease of installation were key factors in the company's decision.
Vision Sensor to Read QR Codes
iVu Plus BCR Gen 2 with 25 mm Micro Lens replaces hand held barcode readers to collect data from dense, difficult-to-read QR codes on vehicle transmissions. A WL50S high-intensity LED spot light illuminates the target area.
