Pin Control on Press Tables Using IoT Sensors

Abstract

Press machines are used to shape metal parts. There are pillow pins at the bottom of the molds in the press. Operators use manual map paper for each die to place the pins. When the pins are placed incorrectly, breakage, distortion and defects in the metal sheet occur in the mold. To prevent these errors, there is no warning system and no visual system to guide the operator. In the study, there is a motion-controlled sensor table. With pin control sensors, it is placed in the right place and the wrong pin is removed. In the system, it provides the operator to place it in the right place with the visual light system. Thus, there will be no errors in the system. The operator will start to make this process very easy. The system provides control with electronic card, plc and software. When the wrong pin is placed, the system does not operate. As a result, it provides production without making mistakes with sensor technology and smart system.
