Share the application of AKUSENSE's color code sensor in jelly packaging cutting. Before cutting the packaging bag with the cutter, a color code sensor needs to be selected to accurately identify the position of the color code on the packaging paperPlastic packaging is our most common packaging material, which generally goes through seven steps: raw materials, printing, lamination, curing, cutting, bag making, and quality control In the cutting process, a color code is generally used at the edge of the packaging bag to mark the cutting position of the cutter, and the machine needs to accurately determine the cutting position of the cutter.
In this issue, Xiao Ming will share with you the application of AKUSENSE's color code sensor in jelly packaging cutting
Detection Scenario
Before cutting the packaging bag with the cutter, a color code sensor needs to be selected to accurately identify the position of the color code on the packaging paper, ensuring that the jelly packaging bag can be accurately and efficiently cut on the high-speed production line, while maintaining the beauty and sealing of the packaging bag.
Testing difficulties:
1. There are various types and colors of packaging bags, with different materials and thicknesses. Some types have smaller black label areas
2. The high-temperature cutting mold is located close to the sensor, and the sensor needs to have a certain degree of high-temperature resistance
3. The color code area of plastic packaging is relatively small, and the running speed of the packaging roll material is very fast. This requires the color code detection sensor to detect the color of the sheet material in a short time and quickly output a signal to the upper computer. After receiving the signal, the upper computer controls the cutting and slicing of the packaging bag.
Solution - ESE-10 Series
In the application of cutting machines, color code sensors are mainly used to detect spots on specific color codes or objects, and achieve color code detection by comparing with non color code areas.
1. Packaging bag positioning and cutting: In packaging cutting machines, Meiji's ESE series color sensor is often used for positioning and cutting control of packaging bags. By setting specific color codes (such as black, white, or other contrasting color lines) on the packaging bag, the color code sensor can accurately recognize these color codes and trigger the cutting mechanism to cut at the color codes, ensuring the accurate cutting position of the packaging bag.
2. Improved cutting accuracy: Due to the accurate recognition of the color mark position by the color mark sensor, the cutting accuracy can be greatly improved. This is particularly important for food packaging such as jelly, as precise cutting can ensure the aesthetics and sealing of the packaging, preventing contamination or damage to the product during transportation and storage.
3. Quick response: With a response time of 0.5ms, it can quickly send out a signal upon detecting the color code, ensuring that the cutting mechanism can respond in a timely manner
4. Adapt to different packaging materials: The color code sensor can adapt to different types of packaging materials, including aluminum foil film, high-pressure polyethylene film, etc. These materials have differences in transparency, toughness, and ease of pulling, but color code sensors can ensure accurate identification and cutting of color codes on different materials by adjusting their detection parameters and sensitivity.
5. Realize automated production: The combination of color code sensors and the automation control system of jelly packaging cutting machines can achieve automation of the entire cutting process. When the color code sensor detects the color code, it will automatically send a signal to the control system, which will then activate the cutting mechanism for cutting without manual intervention. This greatly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs.
