SIM Card Four-Head Punching Machine Solution

01
Project Background

The Smart OCR Card Four-Head Punching Machine holds a pivotal position in the smart card industry. It provides an efficient and precise solution for the production of smart cards with its outstanding performance and wide applicability.
This equipment uses extremely precise molds and has a powerful punching capability. Whether it's full cards, half cards, or quarter cards (such as 2FF+3FF+4FF SIM cards) on standard card bases, as well as various SIM cards and non-standard cards like irregular cards and mini cards, it can handle them all with ease. Simply by changing the mold and precisely controlling the servo system to move the mold up and down, the punching work of IC cards can be efficiently completed. This design not only greatly improves the versatility of the equipment but also reduces production costs, bringing higher economic benefits to enterprises.

Compared to traditional punching machines, the Smart OCR Card Four-Head Punching Machine has significant advantages. It innovatively adds an OCR detection system, which can accurately detect the punching effect of the cards. This function provides a strong guarantee for product quality, ensuring that every punched card meets strict quality standards. At the same time, each workstation can freely choose to enable or disable the detection system according to actual needs, achieving flexible combination punching, greatly improving the flexibility of production. When switching to different punching tasks, the operation is quick and convenient, without the need for complex adjustments and settings, saving a lot of time and labor costs.

In addition, the punching precision of the equipment's mold is extremely high. The combination of precise mold design and advanced punching technology ensures that the punched cards have neat edges and precise dimensions, providing a good foundation for subsequent processing and use. At the same time, the equipment operates stably and reliably, maintaining good performance during long periods of continuous work, reducing equipment failures and downtime, and improving production efficiency.
In summary, the Smart OCR Card Four-Head Punching Machine injects new vitality into the development of the smart card industry with its advanced technology, efficient performance, and flexible operation.

Efficient and Reliable Professional Solution
The equipment uses the brand-new FATEK M-PLC host, whose outstanding performance and stable operation provide a solid foundation for the entire punching machine's control system. Combined with the SC3 series pulse servo motor, it can achieve high-precision motion control, ensuring the accuracy and speed of the punching action. The operation interface selects the FATEK P5 series HMI, providing operators with an intuitive and convenient human-machine interaction experience, making parameter settings and equipment monitoring operations easy and comfortable.

In addition, the OCR vision detection system equipped on the equipment is a major highlight. Through IO control to start visual photography, the OCR vision detection system can conduct a comprehensive and meticulous inspection of the punched cards. It can accurately identify whether the punching effect of the cards is qualified, not missing any minor defects. For unqualified products, the equipment will automatically discard and collect them, preventing them from mixing into subsequent production processes, thereby effectively ensuring product quality.

In terms of punching functions, the Smart OCR Card Four-Head Punching Machine performs excellently. It can achieve punching of full cards, half cards, quarter cards (such as 2FF+3FF+4FF SIM cards), as well as various SIM cards and non-standard cards like irregular cards and mini cards on standard card bases. Regardless of the type of card, high-quality punching work can be completed under the precise control of the equipment. The punching process is efficient and fast, greatly improving production efficiency.

The existence of the OCR vision detection system not only improves product quality but also brings many benefits to enterprises. It can timely discover unqualified products, avoiding waste in subsequent processes and reducing production costs. At the same time, the automated detection function reduces manual intervention, improving the stability and consistency of production. The combination of the equipment's efficient punching capability and precise detection function provides customers with a high-quality card punching solution, helping customers stand out in fierce market competition and improve product quality and production efficiency.

FATEK Makes You Stand Out
Quality Control Advantage
During the punching process, equipment vibration may sometimes cause card positioning deviations, leading to punching size issues. However, the added OCR vision detection function of the Smart OCR Card Four-Head Punching Machine plays a key role. This advanced detection system can monitor the punching effect of the cards in real-time. When it detects inaccurate punching sizes or other quality issues, the system can identify and address them promptly. More importantly, when multiple consecutive unqualified products occur, the equipment will automatically stop and alarm, timely reminding the operator to check the equipment. This measure effectively reduces the production of waste and greatly improves product quality. Through immediate quality monitoring and timely feedback mechanisms, it ensures that every punched card meets strict quality standards, providing customers with high-quality smart card products.

Technical Performance Advantage
The system uses the brand-new FATEK M-PLC host, demonstrating outstanding technical performance. Among them, the LD program execution only takes 0.8ns, this astonishing speed means that the program processing speed is extremely fast. In the smart card punching process, the high-speed program processing capability can ensure the equipment's rapid response to various commands, achieving precise control of the punching action. Whether it is punching speed or precision, it can meet the control requirements of high speed and high precision. This advanced technical performance provides a solid guarantee for the efficient production of smart cards, making the equipment stand out in fierce market competition.

Maintenance Convenience Advantage
The Smart OCR Card Four-Head Punching Machine also shows great convenience in maintenance. It can be remotely programmed and downloaded through a visual industrial control machine, bringing many benefits to customers. When the equipment needs to be updated or modified, customers do not need to operate on site, and the program can be uploaded and downloaded remotely. This not only saves maintenance costs but also greatly reduces maintenance time. At the same time, remote maintenance can reduce equipment downtime, improving the availability and production efficiency of the equipment. Whether for equipment manufacturers or users, this convenient maintenance method greatly improves the management efficiency and user experience of the equipment.
 
Providing Multiple Functions to Adapt to Different Scenarios
To meet various packaging needs, our solution offers functions such as fixed-length mode, color mark mode, and color mark correction. Whether you require fixed-length packaging, precise positioning packaging based on color marks, or color mark correction to accommodate different materials and production conditions, our solution provides flexible options to meet packaging requirements in various scenarios.

Simple Operation Advantage

Simple operation is also a major highlight of the equipment. On the HMI operation interface, users can easily set various mold punching heights to meet the production needs of different types of smart cards. Moreover, the set parameters can be saved in recipes, facilitating users to quickly switch between different production tasks. When switching molds, users only need to switch to the corresponding recipe, without the need for complex parameter adjustments and settings. This simple operation greatly reduces the difficulty and training costs for operators, improving production efficiency. Whether it is an experienced operator or a novice, they can quickly get started with the equipment, providing an efficient and convenient operation experience for smart card production.
