Product Overview
ABB 4LA41100102V1.2 KB2 Broken Plate Detector (hereinafter referred to as "KB2 Broken Plate Detector") is a high-precision and high reliability plate fracture detection equipment launched by ABB brand, belonging to ABB industrial automation detection series products. This equipment is designed specifically for various scenarios of sheet metal processing, conveying, and production lines. It can identify abnormal situations such as breakage and damage that occur during the transportation or processing of sheets in real time and accurately, trigger alarms or stop signals in a timely manner, effectively avoiding subsequent equipment damage, production accidents, and product quality defects caused by sheet metal breakage problems, and providing strong guarantees for the continuity, safety, and stability of industrial production.
The KB2 board breakage detector, with ABB's mature industrial control technology, has the ability to adapt to complex industrial environments and can be widely used in the production and processing of metal and non-metal sheets (such as plastic boards, wooden boards, cardboard, etc.), covering multiple industries such as automotive manufacturing, building materials production, packaging printing, and electronic component processing.
Core functions and advantages
2.1 Core detection function
-Real time board breakage monitoring: The equipment adopts advanced sensing and detection technology, which can continuously scan and monitor the boards in transit. When the boards are detected to be broken, cracked, partially damaged or completely disconnected, signal recognition and feedback can be completed within milliseconds to ensure that abnormal situations are not missed.
-Multi mode alarm mechanism: supports multiple alarm methods such as sound and light alarms, signal output alarms, etc. When a board breakage abnormality is detected, the equipment's built-in alarm indicator light will flash quickly, the buzzer will emit continuous or intermittent alarm sounds, and at the same time output standard switch or analog signals to the production line control system, making it convenient to link with PLC, frequency converter and other equipment.
-Linkage control function: It can preset linkage logic according to production needs. When a broken board is detected, it can not only send an alarm signal, but also directly control the conveyor equipment and processing equipment of the production line to achieve emergency stop or deceleration, avoiding the broken board from entering the next process and causing equipment jamming, damage or product pollution.
-State self diagnosis: The equipment has a complete self diagnosis function, which can monitor the operation status of its own sensing unit, circuit system, and communication module in real time. When there are sensor failures, loose lines, abnormal power supply and other problems, it will promptly issue equipment fault alarms, making it easy for operation and maintenance personnel to quickly locate and troubleshoot problems.
2.2 Core advantages of the product
-High precision detection: Using ABB customized high-sensitivity sensors and specialized signal processing algorithms, it can effectively distinguish between normal joints and fracture defects of the board. The detection accuracy can be adaptively adjusted according to the thickness and material of the board, and the minimum detectable fracture width is as low as 0.1mm. The false detection rate and missed detection rate are both at the leading level in the industry.
-Strong environmental adaptability: The equipment casing adopts IP65 waterproof and dustproof design, which can resist the adverse environmental effects such as dust, oil pollution, water vapor, etc. in industrial sites; The internal circuit adopts anti-interference design, which can effectively shield the electromagnetic interference generated by production line motors, frequency converters and other equipment, ensuring stable operation within the temperature range of -20 ℃~60 ℃.
-Easy to install and debug: Designed with a modular structure, it is compact in size and lightweight, and can be quickly fixed on both sides of the conveyor roller of the production line or at the feeding port of the processing equipment through a bracket; Equipped with a clear operation panel and Chinese display interface, supporting parameter settings through buttons or the upper computer, the debugging process is simple and convenient, and basic configuration can be completed without the need for professional technicians.
-Long lifespan and high reliability: The core components are made of industrial grade components rigorously selected by ABB. After multiple rounds of reliability testing such as high temperature, vibration, and aging, the average time between failures (MTBF) exceeds 50000 hours, significantly reducing equipment maintenance costs and downtime losses.

Installation and usage precautions
4.1 Installation Requirements
-The installation position should be selected at key nodes of the board transmission path to ensure that the sensor can fully cover the width range of the board and avoid detection blind spots caused by obstruction and viewing angle deviation.
-During installation, it should be ensured that the equipment is perpendicular to the direction of board transmission, the sensor detection surface is parallel to the surface of the board, and the distance meets the requirements of the equipment detection distance. It is usually recommended to be 100mm~200mm away from the surface of the board.
-The installation environment should be kept away from strong magnetic fields, heat sources, and equipment with severe vibrations, avoiding direct sunlight on the sensor detection surface to prevent affecting detection accuracy.
-When wiring, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions of the equipment wiring terminals, distinguish between the positive and negative poles of the power supply and the signal output line, ensure that the wiring is firm, the insulation is good, and avoid short circuits or poor contacts.
4.2 Precautions for use and maintenance
-Before powering on the equipment, it is necessary to confirm that the power supply voltage is consistent with the rated voltage of the equipment to avoid circuit damage caused by voltage mismatch.
-In daily use, the sensor detection surface should be regularly cleaned to remove dust, oil stains, and other pollutants from the surface. When cleaning, a soft dry cloth or specialized cleaning agent should be used to avoid scratching the detection surface.
-Regularly check whether the equipment wiring is loose and whether the casing is damaged. If any abnormalities are found, stop the machine for inspection in a timely manner. It is strictly prohibited to disassemble or repair the equipment during operation.
-When replacing sheets of different materials and thicknesses on the production line, it is necessary to re adjust the equipment detection parameters to ensure that the detection accuracy meets the current production requirements.
-When the equipment is idle for a long time, the power should be disconnected and stored in a dry, ventilated, and non corrosive gas environment to avoid moisture or rust.
Common troubleshooting
