For more than 30 years Roland supplies double sheet detection systems according to the state-of-the-art to the automotive industry. The sensors and the analysis methods are keeping pace with the modern steels and alloys that are being used in today's automobiles. The control units are capable of communicating with all modern fieldbus systems of higher-level machine controls -- PLC's.
Structural automotive parts and safety relevant components are increasingly manufactured out of welded tubes often with additional hydroforming methods. For these processes Roland supplies weld seam detection and positioning systems based magnetic flux leakage methods and eddy current.
