Surface TypeApplication Example
PlanarStandard smart card inlays, RFID tags
CurvedAutomotive key fobs, wearable devices
Spherical3D antennas for IoT sensors, medical devices

2. PLC Automatic Control with One-Button Start

The machine is controlled by a user-friendly PLC system. Operators can start the wire embedding process with a single button, minimizing setup time and reducing the potential for operator error.

3. Real-Time Data Monitoring

All critical production parameters are displayed on the screen, including:

  • Robot speed

  • Coordinate positions

  • Material code

  • Wire tension values

This real-time visibility allows operators to monitor process stability and quickly identify any anomalies.

4. Ultrasonic Wire Embedding Technology

The system utilizes advanced ultrasonic wire embedding, which provides:

  • Stronger adhesion – Ultrasonic energy bonds wire to the substrate without damaging materials

  • Consistent results – Program-controlled operation ensures repeatable quality

  • Material compatibility – Works with PVC, ABS, and other polymer substrates

5. Honeycomb Membrane with Real-Time Suction Monitoring

The worktable features a honeycomb-designed membrane with real-time suction monitoring. This ensures that the product remains firmly adhered to the membrane during the embedding process, preventing movement that could compromise accuracy.

6. Integrated Wire Breakage & Tension Detection

The machine continuously monitors wire condition during operation:

  • Wire breakage detection – Instantly stops the machine if wire breaks, preventing defective production

  • Tension detection – Monitors wire tension in real-time to ensure consistent embedding quality

7. Material Mixing Prevention (Scanning Function)

An integrated scanning function prevents material mix-ups by verifying material codes before processing. This is particularly valuable in high-mix production environments where different antenna designs are processed on the same machine.

8. Remote Diagnostics and Maintenance

The LDT-WTD-60 can connect to the internet, enabling remote diagnostics and maintenance. This feature reduces downtime by allowing technical support teams to troubleshoot issues without an on-site visit.

9. Operator Safety Features

  • Safety light grid protection – Stops machine operation if the safety zone is breached

  • One-button start – Reduces operator exposure to moving parts during setup
