Solve stacked material issue during automatic feeding for battery tray laser welding with Metal Double-Sheet Detector

Company Overview：

This company in Jiangsu is a well-known laser welding equipment manufacturer with multiple branches nationwide. The company has strong capabilities and its battery tray laser welding machines are widely used and well regarded.

Customer Equipment Overview：

The battery tray laser welding machine includes the laser source, welding head, seam tracking system, product traceability system, high-precision rotary table, marking system, robots, protective enclosure, and special fixtures.

These machines are used for battery shells and tray welding and can weld aluminum alloy trays, high-strength steel trays, aluminum bottom plates, hybrid battery shells, aluminum water-cooling plates, and carbon steel trays.

Project Requirement：

The customer operates a large laser welder for automotive battery tray welding. During automatic pickup by the robot, negative pressure or oil film between metal sheets can cause the gripper to pick two sheets at once, leading to welding errors. This problem affects production efficiency and quality, and the customer needs a reliable solution.

Solution：

We recommend the Atonm Metal Double-Sheet Detector 8100S. This detector is designed for non-ferromagnetic sheet materials and supports single-sensor double-sheet detection, allowing detection from one side during feeding.

Key features of the Atonm Metal Double-Sheet Detector 8100S:

1. Built-in RS-485 communication module for connection to touch-screen control, improving efficiency. Operation records enable traceability for analysis and optimization.

2. The detector can connect to ERP or MES systems to receive commands for material switching and to monitor production data in real time for fine-grained management.

3. A patented algorithm improves detection stability and ensures accurate single/double-sheet results.

Customer Benefits：

By adopting the Atonm Metal Double-Sheet Detector 8100S, the customer gains:

1. Higher production efficiency: accurate single/double-sheet detection prevents the robot from picking two sheets, avoiding welding errors and reducing downtime and rework.

2. Lower production costs: better detection accuracy reduces scrap and rework, saving materials and labor.

3. Improved product quality: the detector ensures accurate welding by eliminating stacked material issues, improving product consistency and lowering defect rates.

4. Data monitoring and analysis: ERP/MES integration enables real-time production monitoring and data analysis for process optimization and better control.

Summary：

Using a Metal Double-Sheet Detector to address stacked material issues during automatic feeding is an effective and reliable solution. Accurate single/double-sheet detection prevents welding errors, increases efficiency, lowers costs, improves quality, and enables data-driven management. We continue to provide innovative solutions to help customers solve production challenges and improve competitiveness.
