Dd series double fed metal plate detectors are among the intelligence devices from keyence to guide automated production process. These are high precision sensors which feature a compact sensor head and an amplifier. They are of two types-2-head type and 1 -head type. The detectors can be set to different target thickness and response time can be adjusted. It detects the double fed metal plates with various thicknesses as small as 30 x 30 mm and the output levels can be confirmed using bar graph. Some of the advantages of dd series are that, it detects overlapping of sheets, foils, frames, pipes, etc. It also detects excess or reduction in quantity of foils, sheets, frames, etc, which en-hances precautionary steps to be taken. It can be used in aluminium, pipe, steel, electroplating, metal forming, sheet metal industries, etc. Control output can be connected to a plc for further process control.
