Development of Detection Technology of the Scrap-Jumping in Pierce Processing

Abstract

During the consecutive piercing process of metal sheets, it is very difficult to prevent the scrap-jumping completely. The scrap-jumping causes defects generation. Defective goods will be produced when processing is continued without noticing the scrap-jumping. To solve this problem,we made a die that was able to detect scrap-jumping with the load sensor and transmission-type fiber line-laser sensors for pierce processing and executed the defect detection experiment. As a result of the experiment, the newly developed load sensor was able to detect the defect in the following stamp of the scrap-jumping. On the other hand, the fiber line-laser sensor was able to detect the scrap-jumping directly before the following stamp.
