At a Toyota stamping facility, metal sheets were sticking together during the stamping process, causing production delays and defective parts.
Challenge
Challenge
Bulk sheets failed to separate properly, leading to feeder jams, unplanned downtime, and increased scrap rates.
The intermittent sheet separation not only slowed cycle times but also risked damaging equipment.
Solution
Solution
Industrial Magnetics sheet fanners were installed to ensure each metal sheet was individually separated from the stack before feeding into the press.
Results
Results
Downtime Reduction: Feeder jams eliminated, slashing unplanned stoppages
Quality Assurance: Scrap rates reduced, ensuring consistent, defect‑free stamping
Throughput Boost: Production speed increased, fully supporting just‑in‑time schedules
