Key Features
1. High-Precision 3D Robotic Operation
The LDT-WTD-60 employs a high-precision industrial robot capable of embedding wire on complex three-dimensional surfaces. With a robot accuracy of ±0.02 mm, the machine ensures consistent antenna placement regardless of substrate geometry—whether flat, curved, or spherical.
| Surface Type | Application Example |
|---|---|
| Planar | Standard smart card inlays, RFID tags |
| Curved | Automotive key fobs, wearable devices |
| Spherical | 3D 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
