Özet

ABSTRACT

Introduction and Purpose: With increasing aggressive competition, it is important for companies to ensure on-site quality in order to compete. Incomplete cutting problems in sheet metal tools are a common situation in the production phase. In these tools, the stable advancement of the sheet metal strip at high production speed is usually controlled by mechanical and/or electronic sensors.

Materials and Methods: In this context, the implementation of missing cutting sensors represents an innovative system developed to prevent the occurrence of defects on production lines. Missing cutting problems in sheet metal tools are frequently encountered issues during the production phase. Such problems can adversely affect the ability of tools to produce parts within specified tolerances, leading to a decline in final product quality. These sensors monitor the cutting status of parts in real-time throughout each stage of the production process, preventing defective parts from passing through the production line. As part of our project, missing-cutting sensors have been developed for use in sheet metal tools. These sensors automatically detect and separate parts that do not meet specific cutting measurements from the production line. This capability facilitates the early identification of errors within the production process, resulting in lower costs and improved final product quality.

Results: Physical tests have shown that missing cutting sensors achieve a 95% accuracy-rate in detection and reduce defective parts on the production-line by 85%. These results demonstrate the feasibility of employing missing cutting sensors in tool production processes. Furthermore, the development of these sensors has led to increased efficiency and minimized time losses in manufacturing processes. In the long term, the adoption of such technologies not only reduces costs but also enhances production quality, providing a significant competitive advantage in the market. Ultimately, systems integrated with missing-cutting sensors contribute to improved production quality in sheet metal tools and enhance the competitive strength of enterprises.
