[Case] Atonm 1000C Metal Double-Sheet Detector — Overlap Solution for Can Manufacturers

1. Background

A Guangdong can manufacturer uses tinplate with varying thicknesses and frequently switches materials. They previously tried other double-sheet detectors, but those products could not reach the claimed detection speeds of thousands of sheets per minute in practice. The company therefore needed a more efficient, accurate and reliable double-sheet detector.

2. Solution

After comparisons, the company chose the Atonm 1000C Metal Double-Sheet Detector. The 1000C supports up to 1200 sheets/min and offers recipe functionality for easier and safer material switching.

Detection speed: The 1000C achieves 1200 sheets/min thanks to advanced detection technology, outperforming other detectors.

Recipe function: The 1000C can store multiple material profiles. When switching materials, operators select the corresponding recipe and the detector adjusts automatically, simplifying operation and reducing errors.

Field results: The 1000C performed excellently. The company frequently changes metal sheets, but with the 1000C's recipe storage (up to 100 profiles), operators just switch recipes without relearning parameters, greatly improving efficiency. Its 1200 sheets/min speed exceeds prior detectors, enabling accurate material detection and avoiding production delays and waste.

Additionally, the 1000C uses advanced signal processing to minimize output latency, matching PLC timing and reducing missed signals. This is critical when canning speeds reach 700/min — delayed detector signals can cause machine stoppages and production loss.

3. Summary

The Atonm 1000C metal double-sheet detector helped this can manufacturer solve detection issues. With high speed, high accuracy and recipe capability, the 1000C adapts to diverse production environments and provides a reliable solution for metal manufacturers.
