The progress of industrial automation and intellectualization has enabled human beings to gradually liberate themselves from heavy manual labor, and the emergence of machine tools and machining centers has enabled machines to complete the processing of parts faster and more accurately, and the emergence of automatic loading and unloading systems has made the machining center more powerful. The loading and unloading system is indispensable for sensors to play the role of guidance, detection, safety protection and so on.
The loading and unloading system generally uses manual methods such as forklifts to put the loading and unloading tray to the designated position, and the actual position of the pallet is bound to have a certain error compared with the standard position, and the position of the workpiece on the pallet will also have a certain deviation, in order to make the robot can smoothly grab the workpiece, it is necessary to guide the machine vision, and send the coordinates of the workpiece grasping position to the robot. Banner vision products have functions such as robot coordinate conversion, and support common communication protocols such as Profinet, Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, etc., which can be used with various brands of robots.
1. Visual application
In some applications, it is necessary to carry out blanking guidance to correct the position deviation of the blanking tray, and then the pallet needs to have a sign graphic that can be used as a reference, and the visual product determines the position of the entire pallet according to the offset and rotation of the logo graphic. Even when the camera and gripper cannot be mounted together, the Banner VE smart camera is still up to the task.

2. Security application
In the machine tool loading and unloading equipment, safety detection is also indispensable, commonly used are the safety light curtain to prevent personnel from crossing the safety line, the safety door switch to detect whether the safety fence is opened, the safety scanner to detect whether there is someone entering a plane area, and the emergency stop button, request entry button, reset button, etc. that are set according to the functional needs.
In the more complex loading and unloading system, such as the loading and unloading structure in the figure below, there will be more complex safety logic, and the general safety relay is not competent, so a programmable safety controller is required. Banner's safety controllers are easy to program and can be simulated offline.

How to adjust the photoelectric head offset of the Banner sensor - photoelectric sensor?
The photoelectric head of a photoelectric sensor is a precision device, and misalignment can seriously affect the measurement results. This usually happens when external forces interfere with it, such as when the sensor position is shifted due to excessive force during cable construction. At this point, the position of the photohead needs to be readjusted.
How to adjust: ...

Common failures of Banner sensors
1. The problem of the sealing ring of the pressure sensor
The output of the pressurized transmitter does not change, and the output of the pressurized transmitter changes suddenly, and the zero position of the pressure relief transmitter cannot be returned, which is likely to be a problem with the sealing ring of the pressure sensor. It is common that due to the specification of the sealing ring, the sensor is tightened and tightened.
