MDSC-900E Case Study: Stacking Detection Solution for Hardware Parts Stamping

At a modern hardware parts plant the customer faced overlap issues on a dual-mode stamping line producing small stainless-steel parts. Overlap during feeding caused material waste and potential die damage.

Problem background

Raw material is delivered to the press via automatic feeding. Thin, similar-shaped parts can stick together and enter the press as multiple layers without proper monitoring, causing stoppages and mold damage.

Solution

Atonm provided a tailored solution: install two MDSC-900E detectors at the feeding station for real-time monitoring.

The MDSC-900E's high sensitivity detects overlap within milliseconds and triggers an alarm to stop feeding, preventing waste and mold damage. Its robust design resists magnetism, vibration, oil and temperature, making it reliable in harsh stamping environments and extending service life.

Implementation results

After deployment the customer saw improved efficiency: overlap events disappeared, material loss reduced, die wear decreased and downtime shortened. Product quality improved and Atonm provided training and ongoing support to maximize detector performance.
