MDSC-900E Double Material Detection Application Case — Applied in the One-hand Double Die Stamping Production Line of Home Appliance Industry Triaxial Manipulator

1. Project Background

A household appliance manufacturer operates a 3D robot multi - mode stamping production line, mainly for manufacturing metal components of home appliances. In the feeding process at the front end of stamping, double - sheet feeding issues occur frequently. If double sheets enter the stamping die, it will not only damage the die but also cause production interruption and defective product generation, increasing the enterprise's production costs and reducing production efficiency. Therefore, the enterprise is in urgent need of an effective double - sheet detection solution to improve this situation.

2. Customer Requirements

Accurately identify single and double metal sheets, and promptly prevent double sheets from entering the stamping die, fundamentally avoiding die damage and defective product production.

The new double - sheet detection system must seamlessly integrate with existing 3D robots, stamping equipment and other facilities without affecting the original operation process and layout of the production line.

The detection system should maintain stable operation in long - term, high - intensity production environments, reduce false alarms and missed detections, and ensure the reliability of detection results.

3. Solution Selection

After comparative analysis of various double - sheet detection products on the market, the customer finally selected Atom. Atom equipped the customer with the Metal Double - Sheet Detector MDSC - 900E. Based on the eddy current principle, this device can perform single and double - sheet detection on metal sheets with a thickness of 0.01 - 2.5mm (including magnetic and non - magnetic materials) with high detection accuracy.

With a response speed of up to 200pcs/min, it can adapt to the high - speed production rhythm of household appliance stamping lines and ensure timely completion of detection during sheet conveying.

Featuring an all - metal housing, the product has a compact structure and small size. Its square probe is highly compatible with the production line layout, enabling easy installation.

4. Project Implementation

The project team and the customer's technical personnel conducted a joint on-site survey. According to the production line layout and feeding process, it was decided to install the detection sensor on the fixture to perform single and double-sheet detection while grabbing materials, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of all passing sheets. The MDSC-900E double-sheet detector was connected to the production line's PLC control system via switching signals. When double sheets are detected, the detector immediately sends an alarm signal to the PLC. Upon receiving the signal, the PLC controls the robot to stop feeding and triggers the audible and visual alarm device to remind the operator to handle the issue promptly.

5. Project Results

1. Within three months after the project implementation, die damage has been effectively controlled, with the damage rate significantly reduced. This has notably cut down die maintenance costs and downtime caused by repairs, ensuring continuous production of the line.

2. With the double-sheet issue resolved, product qualification rate has been significantly improved, reducing the generation of defective products and decreasing after-sales disputes arising from product quality problems.

3. The production efficiency of the line has been enhanced, with the daily output increasing to a certain extent compared with before, which can better meet the demand of market orders.

4. The customer has recognized the effectiveness and service of the solution, believing that the device has effectively solved the long-standing double-sheet problem plaguing the production line, and expressed the intention of continuing cooperation in the future.

The application of Atom MDSC-900E Metal Double-Sheet Detector in the stamping production line of this household appliance enterprise has successfully solved the double-sheet problem and achieved cost reduction and efficiency improvement of the line.
