As we advance through 2024, industrial automation continues to evolve at a rapid pace, driven by innovations in robotics, safety, motion, and automation products. Staying ahead of these trends is crucial to leveraging new technologies effectively and meeting the ever-growing demands of modern manufacturing and production.
Double Sheet Detection prevents two or more metal sheets or a sheet with improper thickness from entering a production process
Multiple sheets or a sheet with improper thickness can cause sever damage to tools and dies as well as secondary equipment. Repair costs can be expensive, especially if it leads to a complete or partial shutdown.
Prime Controls has developed multiple products that can detect sheets of varying thickness and composition so it doesn’t matter if it’s steel, aluminum, or any other metal there’s a solution. Most products utilize an electromagnetic smart sensor that will measure the thickness. Prime Controls also offers products that are designed for detecting ferrous and non-ferrous parts. This helps identify the presence of visible or hidden metal within an assembly, making it ideal for quality control applications.

If you hear linear actuator and think hydraulic, you’re not alone but don’t forget about electromechanical linear actuators. The accuracy and efficiency of electromechanical actuators has improved substantially over the past few decades and they are now a capable of handling extremely high forces that were once reserved only for hydraulic actuators. Some are capable of handling forces up to and beyond 50,000 lbs. They also provide significant advantages over fluid power systems:
In-Series Diagnostics (ISD) allows users to troubleshoot machine safety systems by providing easy access to system data without the need for special equipment or designated cabling. This greatly increases the ability to prevent system faults and quickly correct issues that cause equipment downtime without hiring costly outside experts. In-Series Diagnostics provides real-time status information for each individual safety system to identify the location and nature of any potential problems and sends alerts if a critical event does occur. This innovative, next generation technology is exclusive to safety devices from Banner Engineering.
