…tools in every process, from quality assurance to press tending. For one, robotic metal stamping technology can reduce overhead expenses dramatically. Multiple in-die sensors equipped with artificial intelligence can detect and report defects immediately, preventing material waste. Since inconsistencies of an imperfect die raise production costs substantially over time, an automated system with instant feedback is an ideal solution. Although in-die sensing initially came to exist as a solution to die crashing, manufacturers soon realized it could evolve into something more. Now, it can monitor various metal stamping processes with extreme precision. For example, analog-output proximity sensors can measure materials…
