 Double Sheet Detection for Press Load and Transfer Systems 
Double Blank or Double Sheet Detectors are required in blank feeders, blank destackers, robot loader, blank washers, blank lubricator, magnetic conveyors, or in the centering station to provide tool and die protection for stamping presses.  Hidden parts detection enable poka yoke verification in body-in-white production. When manufacturing tailor welded blanks - TWBs - undetected double blanks can cause substantial tool damage. Roland Double Metal Detectors for steel, aluminum, or stainless steel blanks are therefore an important precondition for press automation. Fanning magnets can enhance double sheet detection. Improved gap-tolerant single probe double sheet sensors can be mounted directly into vacuum suction cups. Non-contact dual head systems are especially well suited for roll forming application,  magnetic transfers as well as mechanical rail transfers.

Roland Double Blank Detectors have proved their reliability in thousands of installations worldwide.


 Weld Seam Detection and Tube Positioning in Tube Benders 

Weld seam detection in tubes with magnetic flux leakage or eddy current sensors is necessary in pipe and tube bending machines, or in hydroforming presses when cnc tube bending automotive components such as exhaust manifolds, head rests, side members, roll bars, or engine cradles. Tube weld seam positioning is not only required for pipe and tube bending but also for laser tube cutting, tube forming, tube punching, tube end forming, and tube notching.


Other applications are the detection and elimination of welds  after coil joining in decoilers, blanking presses, or cut-to-length lines thus enabling the use of lower cost welded coils. A related application is the detection of  weld seams in wires and rods and cable connections in the extrusion process. 


A special application of weld seam location is the positioning of 55 gallon drums or similar containers for silk screen printing purposes. 




 Sheet Thickness Measurement in Metal Coils 
Thickness is an important process parameter for the prevention of tool or machine damage or to monitor product quality according to ISO 9000 in blanking presses, slitting lines, cut-to-length lines, scroll shears and other coil processing machinery. Continuous thickness measurement makes the monitoring of the cost of purchased material possible. ROLAND has single sensor measurement systems as well as non-contact dual probe systems available. The systems function according to the magnetic, inductive, or capacitance principles. Detailed measurement protocols according to SPC criteria provide objective information for negotiating with coil suppliers.


 Steel Cord Inspection System SIS - Spacing Detector 
During the production of steel cord reinforced radial tires, several types of spacing defects can occur at the calendar or later at the cutting and splicing operation. The early detection of these faults is the purpose of the ROLAND Steel  Cord Inspection System SIS XP. The SIS XP is an enhanced version of the tried and proven system SIS of which over 30 are installed worldwide in plants of many quality conscious steel belted tire manufacturers. In contrast to X-ray systems, the spacing detector functions according to the magnetic inductive principle and does not require the observance of Health and Safety issues as in the case of X-rays. A new type of the spacing detector can detect spacing faults during the production of green tires in the tire building machine.


 Pharma Blister Package Content Verifier in the Cartoner 
The automatic filling of pharmaceutical blister packages can result in underfill and overfill conditions. For medical products this cannot be tolerated. Verification of content is therefore necessary. In contrast to the customarily used check weigher the Blister Package Comparator with its eddy current sensors system is based on a measuring principle that is free of inertia resulting in very high inspection velocities with only minimal space requirements of about 100 mm (4 in.) within the transportation line.
