Application of Atonm Metal Double-Sheet Detector 8000S in Automotive Parts Stamping

1. Company Introduction

The customer is an automotive parts press equipment manufacturer located in Chongqing, with nearly 20 years of history. They focus on automotive parts production and have established a good reputation in the industry. With advancing technology, they recognized the need to upgrade presses for automation to improve efficiency and product quality.

2. Project Requirements

The customer's press requires retrofit for automation. Their equipment processes iron sheets 0.8–3 mm thick with diameters around 1 meter. During feeding, overlapping can occur; to avoid production issues, they needed a reliable detector to identify overlapping feed.

3. Solution

Considering workstation constraints and feeding actions, we provided a solution using the Atonm Metal Double-Sheet Detector 8000S. This detector is designed for magnetic sheet materials (such as iron, nickel, and magnetic stainless steel) to distinguish single and double sheets accurately, capable of identifying single sheets 0.1–3 mm thick.

Atonm Metal Double-Sheet Detector 8000S offers excellent performance. It employs advanced sensing technology for fast and accurate single/double sheet detection. The detector also supports recipe storage for up to 100 material profiles, allowing quick material switching without retraining operators, thus improving flexibility and efficiency.

4. Customer Benefits

Introducing the Atonm Metal Double-Sheet Detector 8000S enabled the press automation upgrade and delivered multiple benefits.

First, the detector prevents overlapping during feeding, ensuring each metal sheet is accurately identified and processed. This reduces production errors and waste, improving product quality and consistency.

Second, the 8000S' fast response and high‑precision detection make the press processing more stable and reliable. It accurately determines single or double sheets and reports results to the control system for automated processing, reducing operator burden and improving overall line efficiency.

Additionally, the detector's recipe function brings convenience. Production often requires different types of metal sheets; switching materials usually requires parameter adjustments. The 8000S can store up to 100 material profiles, enabling quick adaptation by selecting the appropriate recipe and saving time.

5. Conclusion

The Atonm Single-Sensor Metal Double-Sheet Detector 8000S provided this customer with a significant technical upgrade and benefits in automotive parts stamping. By accurately identifying single and double sheets, it resolved overlapping feed issues, improved line stability and efficiency, and simplified material switching with recipe support, enhancing production flexibility.

As technology advances, the Atonm Metal Double-Sheet Detector 8000S represents a new trend in automation upgrades. It provides a reliable solution for the stamping industry to meet demands for efficient, precise, and dependable production. We believe that with the 8000S, the customer will maintain a competitive edge and achieve greater commercial success.
