Double Blank Analyzer

Double Blank Analyzer

Recent trends in vehicle manufacturing found automotive stampers faced with the need to process increasingly thicker blanks while working within smaller size constraints.

Our double blank detection sensors prevent damage to dies and presses by detecting multiple blanks during the load sequence. Contact style sensors detect multiple blanks in the destacker, allowing early rejection and removal.

The newest IMI Norgren double blank analyzer, (EDBA) are EtherNet/IP capable, while still maintaining the industry's fastest response times and most durable system!

Discrete I/O DBA Features & Benefits

  • Greater flexibility with capacity to detect single sheet material thickness range up to 6 mm, compared to 4.6 mm with “legacy” sensors.”
  • Ability to detect both ferrous and non-ferrous material reducing the number of cable runs
  • Greater tolerance of air gaps for ease of setup, increased uptime and reliability
  • Upgraded driver boards that are backwards compatible with old style sensors reducing inventory and enabling potential future system upgrades
  • Greater size to measurement ratio – 42 mm sensors have the same range as “legacy” 54 mm sensors
  • The ability to sense aluminum up to 3.0 mm
  • Up to four independent sensors that can be operated from a single controller for greater flexibility at reading different stations
