**Application Case of Atonm Single/Double Sheet Detector MDSC-900E in Hardware Stamping**

1.  Project Background

The customer of this cooperation is a professional manipulator manufacturer, which has recently undertaken a hardware stamping automated production line project. In the punch feeding process of this production line, there is a key problem: it is necessary to accurately detect whether double-sheet occurs during feeding, so as to coordinate with the manipulator feeding work and prevent double-sheet from entering the die. Once double-sheet enters the die, it may not only cause the scrapping of stamped products, but also damage the die, affecting the normal operation and production efficiency of the production line.

2.  Solution

To meet this requirement of the customer, we provided a solution consisting of the Atonm Metal Single/Double Sheet Detector MDSC-900E paired with a circular probe.

Project Details

1.  Install the double-sheet detector at a proper position in the front end of the stamping process.

2.  The manipulator feeds the sheet metal to the detection station.

3.  The air cylinder at the detection station pushes the sensor of Atonm Metal Single/Double Sheet Detector MDSC-900E to detect the sheet metal.

4.  After the detector confirms that the sheet metal is a single sheet, it sends a release signal.

5.  Upon receiving the release signal, the manipulator grabs the sheet metal and sends it to the punching machine for stamping operation.

Atonm Metal Single/Double Sheet Detector MDSC-900E features high-precision detection capability. The matched circular probe can accurately detect metal sheets to ensure the reliability of detection results. Its fast response speed can also well adapt to the automated rhythm of the production line without affecting the operational efficiency of the line.

3.  Customer Benefits

1.  Reduced Production Costs: It eliminates product scrappage caused by double-sheet materials entering the die, thus cutting down raw material waste. Meanwhile, it avoids maintenance costs and die replacement expenses incurred by die damage due to double-sheet materials.

2.  Improved Production Efficiency: With accurate detection and rapid response, the production line is ensured to operate continuously and stably. The downtime caused by double-sheet issues is reduced, which enhances the overall production efficiency.

3.  Guaranteed Product Quality: Only single-sheet materials are fed into the punching machine for stamping, which ensures the stability of the stamping process. As a result, the consistency of product quality is improved, and the number of defective products caused by double-sheet stamping is reduced.

4.  Enhanced Production Line Automation Level: The seamless integration of Atonm Single/Double Sheet Detector with manipulators, air cylinders and other equipment further improves the automation level of the entire hardware stamping line. It reduces the need for manual intervention and lowers the possibility of human operational errors.
