Application of MDSC-1000C Metal Double-Sheet Detector in Home Appliance Production

Project Background

During feeding, the machine first separates single metal sheets using magnetic separation, then the press forms the metal sheets. When the metal surface is clean, magnetic separation can efficiently supply single sheets. However, if oil exists on the sheet surface or surface tension between two sheets is high, the separator may pick two sheets as one, commonly called double-feed.

Project Objective

Objective: Accurately and effectively detect double-sheet overlap.

Challenges: 1. Small sheet area and high line speed; 2. Installation area close to the magnetic separator.

Solution Summary

When the robot arm places the sheet within the detector range, the detector is moved into position to protect it and avoid collisions during feeding. If the detector reports a single-sheet signal, the robot extends the pickup arm; if a double-sheet signal is detected, the robot stops and an alarm is issued.

System Features

1. High reliability: MultisCom optimized algorithm, anti-interference circuit and full-metal housing design;

2. High response speed: detection up to 1200 pcs/min;

3. Multi-material detection: supports all metal materials; the detector can self-learn sheet characteristics for stainless steel, iron, aluminum, copper foil, etc.;

4. Simple commissioning: self-learning without needing thickness settings or material discrimination, completing setup in four steps.

Solution Advantages

1. Multiple trigger modes for site conditions, supporting real-time data transmission or manual-triggered events;

2. Atonm Metal Double-Sheet Detector supports 485 communication and can store up to 100 material recipes; when switching materials, operators can recall stored recipes from the touchscreen without reconfiguration.
