1.3 Intended use

Flexible Manufacturing Systems in the sheet processing industry require reliable Double Sheet

Control systems in order to protect presses and other sheet processing machines against damage

caused by feeding multiple sheets.

The Double Sheet Detector R1000 L20 was specifically developed for this technical environment.

The reliable function of the Double Sheet Detector depends therefore most importantly on the

selection of the correct sensors and the mounting of the sensors.

1.4 General hints for process reliability

The process security of the system is influenced by the following factors:

• Stability of the measuring values

• Setting of under-gauge threshold and over-gauge threshold

• Evaluation of the status signals

Stable measuring conditions will result in stable measuring results. Varying measuring results are

undesirable, because in such cases the user is inclined to decrease the under-gauge threshold

LOW and to increase the over-gauge threshold UP. On doing so, the user puts up with the

drastically increasing risk of not detecting a double sheet.

The following external factors decisively influence the stability of measuring results and need to be

considered for operation of a double sheet detector:

• Optical characteristics of the material

• Tolerance in material thickness

• Contamination of the material

• Geometric conditions at the place of measurement (Stability of the sensor gaps)

• Contamination of the sensors (dirt, oil …)

From this some simple rules can be derived, which enable a high process security when abided by:

• Every different sheet (Thickness, material and contour) is measured with separate

measuring program.

• Adjust the switching thresholds as tight as possible!

• Keep the sensor gap constant!

• Make use of the air connection to keep the sensors clean!

Furthermore it is necessary that the machine control:

• checks all status signals of the L20,

• checks the 0-sheet signal.

While measuring, only the 1-sheet signal may occur. If 0-sheet or 2-sheet occurs, the measured

sheet may not be transported on. In such cases, the sheet will usually be removed.

• The machine controls needs to evaluate all status signals !

Checking-up through the 0-sheet signal is to assure that a sheet really is between the sensors

during measuring. If 0-sheet occurs while measuring, the measurement is not correct. For example,

a defective sensor holder might change the sensor gap. Monitoring the sheet thickness would then

only be seemingly performed.

In case of double sheet severe consequences could then result.

3.1 Measurement principle

The function of the Double Sheet Detector is based on the principle of laser triangulation. The

sensor system consists of two sensors which measure the distance.

If the total distance is known it is possible to calculate the sheet thickness.

Fig. 2: Measurement principle

3.1.1 Planning information for mechanics

The total distance Ax of both sensors from each other has a great influence on the measurement

precision.

Important An appropriate stable and rigid mechanism is required.

Possible determining factors are also:

1. Thermal expansion

2. Vibrations

3. Impacts, press travel

4. Force and torque effects

These factors must be considered sufficiently when dimensioning the mechanics and the sensor

mounting. Permissible deviations Delta Ax must be smaller than 1/6 of the smallest thickness D

min

to be measured.

Example: For a reliable monitoring of sheets for double sheet detection with a nominal thickness of

0.3 mm, the permissible deviation Delta Ax is:

+/- 0.3 mm / 6 = +/- 0.05 mm.

Considering the typical measurement inaccuracy of +/- 0.05mm of the LAS40 sensors itself,

therefore a total error of +/- 0.1mm may occur.

Sheet thickness 0.3 mm: -> measuring value between 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm

Sheet thickness 0.6 mm: -> measuring value between 0.5mm and 0.7mm

For safe operation, the upper limit must be set to 0.45mm (= 150% of the nominal thickness) and

the lower limit to 0.15 mm (= 50% of the nominal thickness).

If the limits 150% respectively 50% are not sufficient, a calibration must be performed.

When dimensioning the mechanics and the sensor mounting, the Delta values Ax (permissible

deviation of the base distance due to thermal expansion, vibrations, impacts, press travel) must be

considered: According to the smallest sheet thickness, following deviations must be observed:

Fig. 5: Deviations for LAS200

3.1.2 Planning information for calibration

If the values Delta Ax cannot be achieved, a regular calibration may be helpful.

Ideally, a gauge block is provided in mechanics. This can be done via a pneumatic cylinder and is

then automated via PLC control.

3.1.3 Planning information for air blow-off

The operation of the system in ambience containing oils, as it occurs at press lines in the

immediate vicinity of oiling is generally possible if following is respected:

1. The air blow-off of the sensors is used.

2. The system test of the L20-3-XX-S (only LAASxx+ sensors) is accessed cyclical via PLC.

3. The sensors are well accessible for cleaning.

Normally the air blow-off is sufficient to allow reliable operation in vicinity of oiling. However, failure

of air blow-off, can cause serious contamination. This requires the cleaning of the sensor optics.

Therefore, in any case, the safe access to the sensors must be ensured.

3.2 Control unit

The L20 is based on the product platform R1000.

Major features of the control unit:

• Programmable for 255 different sheet thicknesses / types of sheets

• Fieldbus interface for the control, operation and data exchange with the PLC

• Calibration of the measuring point with a calibration sheet

• Digital display of sheet thickness and operating parameters

• Monitoring of over gauge and under gauge limits

3.2.2 Parameters of the control unit

The L20 provides for extensive configuration. So, different customer requirements can be served.

Configuration is performed by setting system parameters, adjust parameters and program

parameters. System parameters are set only once during commissioning, and will then remain

unchanged. Program parameters contain items which are material and job depending, and enable

individual adaptation to the measuring task. The adjustment parameters contain the adjustment of

the measuring point.

The parameters are explained in depth in the chapter 7.3 „Operation“.

Pay special attention to the program parameters „low“, „up“ and „moving average above xx ms“

The switching thresholds of the status signals depend on the settings of „low“ and „up“.

The measuring signal is fed to a window comparator. The signal “0-sheet“ is generated when the

measuring signal falls below the lower switching threshold “ low”. The lower switching threshold

“low” can be set from 1...100%. The signal “2-sheet“ is generated when the upper switching

threshold is exceeded. The upper switching threshold “up” can be set from 100...180%. If the

measuring value is within both limits, the signal “1-sheet“ is generated.

The preset values (up=120% resp. low=80%) should only be changed under the following aspects:

1. Target: Increasing the process reliability

Prerequisite: Very stable measurement values

Implementation: Restrict the 1-sheet area. This is done by decreasing the “low” value

and/or increasing the “up” value.

2. Target: Keep the system function alive despite fluctuating measuring values

(e.g. mechanical problems)

Prerequisite: Exceptional situation till correction of the problem.

A reduction of the process reliability is hereby taken into account by the operator.

Implementation: Expand the 1-sheet area temporarily.

„moving average above xx ms“

Defines the time which is required by the system to perform an average measurement.

4 Mounting

The mounting of the Double Sheet Detector R1000 L20 determines the measurement accuracy

and the reliability of operation. The system was designed for operating in rough industrial

environments. However, the following mounting instructions should be observed in order to

minimize mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic influences on the operation.

4.1 General mounting instructions

The enclosure for wall mounting meets IP65 and is designed for mounting the enclosure close to

the sensor location. By using short sensor cables, the influence of interference on data

transmission is reduced.

The control unit should be installed in locations where no vibration exists and no additional heat is

transferred into the system (even better reduce the heat in the control unit). In addition the control

unit should be installed in such a fashion that it can be easily opened for service purposes. During

the operation the control unit and the sensors should be under visual control of the operating

personnel.

Attention Strong vibrations and additional heat can damage the control unit.

4.3 Mounting of sensors

The sensors must be installed opposite each other in alignment. If circumstances require it, the

mechanical mounting angles can be rotated or swapped.

To ensure an accurate measurement, ensure that the laser axes of the two sensors are identical

(on each other). For this purpose Roland Electronic provides the bracket SHLAS40H, which allows

easy alignment (not shown). The sensors provided within the sensor system LAAS40 have already

been aligned using the bracket SHLAS40H.

For an initial installation, they can be mounted directly. If the sensors are adapted or exchanged,

they must be aligned before mounting.

The provided bracket SHLAS40H is not shown above.

All dimensions in mm.

Fig. 8: Dimensions of the sensors

To prevent contamination of the sensors it is necessary to provide a continuous air blow-off.

See chapter 4.3.8 "Air blow-off for laser sensors".

Attention In general baffles must be mounted in order to prevent damage to

the sensors at incoming coil / sheet.

4.3.1 Procedure at mounting

The alignment-bracket must be removed only at the end of the mounting process!

1. Screw the sensors loosely on the angles.

2. Screw the angles to the system, but do not tighten the screws. Make sure that no mechanical

tension occurs between the sensor enclosures.

3. Tighten all screws. Take care that no tensions persist between the parts.

4. Finally remove the alignment-bracket.

5. At L20-3-XX-S with LAAS40+:

Verify sensor alignment with adjust parameter 4, “alignment”.

Attention After mounting a measuring point calibration should be performed to

the L20. See also chapter 8.4 "Measuring point calibration".

4.3.2 Alignment of the sensors at remounting, exchange or change

1. For alignment of the sensors place the sensors one to each other with the mounting side on a

adjusting plate or an equally smooth surface.

2. Lay a gauge block or equivalent with 40 mm between the sensors.

3. Screw the adjustment-bracket tight. The screws may be screwed in this case depending on the

mounting situation from both sides in order to be easily removed after the alignment. Thereby

make sure that the sensors lay plane to the plate and fit firmly against the gauge block.

4. Fasten the sensor pair as described previously.

Attention After mounting a measuring point, a calibration should be performed

to L20. See also chapter 8.4 "measuring point calibration".

4.3.3 Control of the laser beam axis

After mounting or adjusting a sensor it might be necessary to control the axis of the laser beam.

In the program switch the „sensor alignment help“ on, see chapter 7.4.3 substructure „alignment

parameters“ (details in chapter 7.8)

To check hold a non-reflective piece of paper at various points in the beam. The sensors will flash

alternately. The laser beam is visible through the paper, so that a properly aligned system should

have no offset between the two points on the paper. At a larger displacement or angular deviation

of the laser beam, an inclined position of the sheet can lead to variations in measurements.

At an offset of several millimetres, the sensors should be realigned. At usage of LAAS40+, the

alignment can be verified with adjust parameter 4, “alignment”.

Warning – Laser radiation!

Eye hazard from laser radiation. Do not stare into the laser beam.
