Application of Atonm MDSC-9000S Metal Single/Double Sheet Detector for Overlap Protection in Automotive Door Panel Stamping Lines

Project Background

Customer Industry: Manufacturer of automated stamping equipment for automotive components

Project Requirement: To build a high-precision stamping production line for a leading automotive enterprise. It is necessary to address the risks of mold damage, material waste, and production downtime caused by metal sheet overlapping. Meanwhile, the production line cycle rate must be no less than 12 cycles per minute.

Pain Point Analysis

Overlap Risk: Ultrasonic sensors fail to accurately identify overlapping thin metal sheets (0.8-2.0mm thick).

Economic Losses: The cost of a single mold repair exceeds 50,000 yuan, and the material waste rate is as high as 3%.

Efficiency Constraints: Manual sampling inspection reduces the production line cycle rate by 15%, failing to meet JIT (Just-In-Time) production requirements.

Solution

Core Equipment: Atonm MDSC-9000S Metal Single/Double Sheet Detector

System Integration: In-depth collaboration with stamping robots and PLC control systems

Technical Highlights

Electromagnetic Eddy Current Detection Technology

Upgraded overlap detection algorithm with exceptional anti-interference capability, eliminating external interference to accurately identify overlaps in 0.2–4.0mm metal sheets.

Dual-Channel Design for Higher Efficiency

One main unit connects two sensors, enabling simultaneous overlap detection for two stamping processes. Compared with traditional single-channel detectors, it delivers higher efficiency and time savings.

200 Stored Recipes for Easier Operation

Stores and manages parameters for multiple materials; quick switching of target metals via the host computer.

Universal Metal Sheet Detection

Fully upgraded to support overlap detection for all types of metal sheets.

Communication Network Support for Greater Convenience

Supports Profinet and RS485 communication, connecting to PLC and other host computers for system control.

Customer Value

Quality Assurance: Realizes 100% online inspection, ensuring 100% single-sheet feeding qualification rate.

Cost Optimization: Annual savings on mold maintenance + material costs exceed 2 million yuan.

Intelligent Upgrade: Detection data integrated into the MES system for digital quality traceability.
