New Release｜“One-to-Four” Metal Double-Sheet Detector MDSC-1600S—Leading the Localization Upgrade of Automotive Production Lines

Amid the automotive industry’s accelerating trend toward cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and domestic substitution, leading industrial inspection company Atonm officially launches the next-generation MDSC-1600S Metal Double-Sheet Detector.

At the core of this product is one-to-four multi-probe collaborative detection technology, which not only achieves performance on par with imported brands but also, with higher cost-effectiveness and stability, provides a new domestic solution for automotive stamping lines. It effectively addresses industry pain points such as mold wear and production downtime caused by double-sheet materials.

The head of Atonm’s R&D department stated:
“The MDSC-1600S delivers an upgrade solution for dual-material detection across three key dimensions: stable operation, flexible adaptability, and cost control. It is the ideal choice for import replacement and will actively drive the localization and intelligent transformation of inspection processes in automotive manufacturing.”

“One-to-Four” Multi-Station Collaboration—Precision Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement

The MDSC-1600S innovatively adopts a “one-to-four” probe design, where a single controller can connect to four pairs of sensors, supporting multi-station, multi-point synchronous detection. This expands coverage and improves detection efficiency compared to traditional devices. The system allows arbitrary sensor combinations, with each probe pair independently activated or deactivated, flexibly adapting to different production line layouts. Field tests show a detection response time as fast as 80 ms, effectively preventing mold damage caused by overlapping sheets. With the same detection configuration, the per-line investment cost is lower than imported equipment, potentially saving customers over one million RMB annually in maintenance and downtime costs.

Full-Material Coverage + Strong Anti-Interference—Adaptable to Multi-Model Production

Detection capability has been fully upgraded to cover iron, stainless steel, aluminum/aluminum alloys, copper, and other metals, with a thickness range of 0.2–6.0 mm. For aluminum, the range extends to 0.1–8.0 mm, meeting the increased use of lightweight aluminum in new energy vehicles. Leveraging next-generation sensor technology and anti-interference algorithms, the device operates stably under mechanical vibration, electromagnetic interference, and other complex conditions. On-site tests at leading automakers demonstrate performance comparable to German-imported equipment.

Signal Hold + Forced Intervention—Enhanced Safety Assurance

To address missed detection risks, the MDSC-1600S optimizes output logic: detection signals are latched, ensuring the PLC system can reliably read them multiple times, preventing missed detections due to transient signal loss. The device is equipped with a double-sheet hold switch; once double sheets are detected, the system locks the alarm until manually cleared via external IO or Profinet signals. This forces operator intervention, preventing operators from ignoring transient alarms and continuing stamping, further protecting mold safety. The device supports both NPN and PNP outputs (configurable in the host) and integrates seamlessly with mainstream control systems.

Flexible Storage + Digital Integration—Empowering Smart Factories

To meet rapidly changing automotive model requirements, the device features 999 recipe storage sets, surpassing the industry standard of 255, enabling fast switching of detection parameters for multiple materials and specifications and significantly improving changeover efficiency. Compatible with IO, Profinet, and EtherCAT, it enables millisecond-level data exchange with MES systems, providing critical data support for intelligent production line management.

Domestic Breakthrough—Solving Imported Equipment Challenges

The through-type “one-to-four” MDSC-1600S Metal Double-Sheet Detector offers high cost-performance, an 18-month extended warranty, and 7×24-hour online technical support, effectively addressing the industry pain points of imported equipment: high prices, long lead times, and slow maintenance response.

The product has been validated by multiple leading automakers and will soon enter mass delivery. Atonm also provides customized services such as sensor layout optimization and system integration commissioning, continuously driving the domestic substitution and intelligent upgrade of automotive manufacturing inspection processes.
