Feeding Stack Detection Solution for Stamping Robot

Project Overview

An Anhui company supplying automotive stamping lines received an order from an automaker for a full automation solution. During automated stamping, it is essential to ensure the robot gripper picks single sheets (no double or multi-sheet feeding) to avoid damaging molds and to improve stamping efficiency and product quality.

Based on this requirement, the customer consulted us for a stack detection solution for the stamping robot feeding.

Solution

After in-depth communication, Atonm engineers learned the customer processes mixed steel and aluminum sheets up to 1.5m x 1m and thickness from 0.3mm to 2.5mm. The line is suitable for through-beam type devices. We recommended a powerful through-beam Double-Sheet Detector with communication features — MDSC-1000C.

MDSC-1000C is a versatile Double-Sheet Detector offering high reliability and built-in Modbus485 communication, suitable for fast material switching without repeated parameter learning—ideal for production lines that frequently change materials.

Customer Benefits

By deploying the MDSC-1000C Double-Sheet Detector and validating it in operation, the customer obtained significant benefits on the stamping line. The detector demonstrated outstanding stability with zero misses and false alarms, improving stamping quality, reducing scrap rate, and enhancing production efficiency and product quality.

The improved efficiency and quality brought economic gains and stronger market competitiveness. This case highlights the performance of the MDSC-1000C Double-Sheet Detector and Atonm’s commitment to providing effective solutions.
