High Speed Pellet Scanning System PS200C
The PS200C inspection system is used to analyse transparent and opaque
pellets. The pellets are inspected with a high-resolution 3-chip CCD
colour camera for impurities, foreign bodies, or colour deviations as
well. The testing material is fed into the appliance through a hopper.
Feeding can be automated by means of an online hopper. The pellets are
conveyed separately over the inspection zone. After the optical evaluation
the contaminated pellets can be separated into a different container
(sorting unit option).
Measuring errors are eliminated by use of numerous additional optical
components. There is no colour dependency as with many other
optoelectronic appliances.
A high level of efficiency is achieved by
powerful image processing software. The synchronisation of the transport
system with the image processing offers a major contribution to the
reproducibility of the measurement results.
Installation in the bypass guarantees production monitoring and rapid
reaction to any occurrences. The system provides a variety of individual
configurations, which guarantee an improved adaptation to specific
requirements.
The measurement data are stored in a test report to enable future
analysis. The recorded images and measured data can be observed on a
screen during the measuring process. The results can be shown and printed
in tables or graphs.
Along with a pure inspection of pellets the system can also be used to
record , file and document. Each defined deviation is recorded in the
measurement protocol via a multidimensional characteristics vector with an
error map.
The system can be adapted exactly to the respective requirements with
the help of the extensive software packages.
