At ICE Europe 2013 on 19-21 March at the Munich Trade Fair Centre (hall A5, booth 1112) in Munich, Germany, ISRA Vision, a provider of optical in-line inspection systems, will present its latest solutions in surface inspection for the converting industry. The systems are designed to find every defect and increase processing efficiency.
The areas of use for these all-in-one camera-based inspection systems and their associated tools for production optimisation are quite varied. They include any even finished surfaces with all substrates and material types: films, nonwovens and paper, up to carbon fibre or glass fibre fabrics. They are in use at all converting stages, such as coating, lamination, metalizing and more. Runs can be transparent, covered, semi-opaque, metalized, embossed or dyed. Composite materials, striped applied coatings or coatings with patterns, optical films and plates are possible to inspect. The inspection solutions are appropriate for many different installation sites, such as coating lines, rewinders and doctor machines. The range of inspected materials and applications covers a wide variety of markets such as the food, packaging and pharmaceutical industries.
The automated systems find optical defects with precision. The low-maintenance networked systems are based on modern technology and are constructed in a modular and flexible fashion in both their hardware and software designs. This way, adaptation to each customer's production process, regardless of line speed, web width and the installation circumstances is simple. The system can cope with frequent material changes, as the handling of different product- or material-related recipes is flexible. System components are protected from contamination, are fail-safe and can be exchanged. The use of modern camera and lighting technology ensures that even small low-contrast material defects will be found. Besides monochrome line-scan cameras, state-of-the-art colour cameras are used that can identify previously invisible or low-contrast defects. The detection of small defects is assured using the latest special and patented lighting techniques such as fast switchable multi-mode, multi-view light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Users will benefit from a significant improvement in quality early in the processing steps. This saves resources and minimises scrap. In addition, tools to optimise production, such as slit-optimisation or rewind controller, generate additional benefits by increasing the overall processing efficiency. The inspection solutions ensure quality with defined standards.
