Scanners - Import export

The products get transferred in a continuous-flow process. Products go through the scanner where the mass allocation of each product is determined using X-ray technology. The products are then weighed on the integrated weighing station according to their individual track. The system features a two-stage safety guarding for its radiation source. The CPS-X 400 is specifically designed for weight-accurate slicing of speciality products like Swiss Cheese and those which vary in density, e.g. fat to lean ratio. Optional: Detection of foreign objects: as well as ensuring reliable production, detecting foreign objects also protects units located downstream. This function can be used for detecting, e. g. stainless steel > Ø = 3 mm, glass/ceramic > Ø = 8 mm (product-dependent). Advantages Up to six products in one scan cycle Weight-precise cutting of cheese with holes Density determination of products with significant density differences (fat/lean proportion)

The products to be recorded can be fed on multiple tracks into a LED camera system, which individually measures and then weighs them at a weighing station. Based on the captured data, the highest yield and minimal give-away is guaranteed during slicing of pieces/chunks and slices. Advantages Open design, simple handling High fault tolerance Excellent detection of products with extremely fluctuating color contrasts Precise measurement even in extraneous light The laser scanner is available in various sizes to fit your product.

Particular Challenges: In the course of the production, endless cables are running at a considerable speed, and supervision has to be carried out nearly under real-time conditions. The size of the objects to be determined, i.e. of the flaws to be discovered, is in the range of only some hundredths of a mm. Another difficulty is the fact that surfaces with very different reflectivity and roughness are involved. In order to be able to check the cables all around, several laser scanners must be in place, mounted at different angles, thus covering the entire range of 360°. Quelltech Solution: The solution consists in a configuration of four Q6 laser scanners, mutually displaced by 90°, so the entire surface of the cables is in the field of view. On the basis of the 100% inline inspection, the position of defects can precisely be determined, without losing too much time.

Plastic Mold Part (AC Controller) Inspection At this point the manufacturer is looking for scratches and chips and dimension specifications manually. In this respect manual inspection is not a repeatable or trustworthy method to guarantee steady quality of goods. It will be demanding for a human worker to detect this for a long period. QuellTech Solution Plastic Mold Parts are easily measurable materials for QuellTech scanners. Using the QuellTech Q4-120 Laser Line Scanner it is possible to obtain very precise reflection free 3D point clouds. A Software making necessary detections in 3D point clouds can effortlessly check dimensions and find scratches or any other defect which allows the manufacturer to automatically parse outparts that do not pass the tolerance levels.

Particular Challenges of the Application: By tactile equipment, determination of the deepest point on a rough metal surface is neither simple or precise. As a consequence, often either too much material is removed, or the surface is still covered with defects which have to be eliminated by a following milling cycle. The equipment is arranged in parallel, so that the complete width of the slabs is covered. The sensors are calibrated to a common coordinate system and mounted on a movable gantry. Before measurement, the slabs are fixed in place. The scanners mounted on the gantry are guided over the measuring object, driven by an electric motor. The point cloud recorded by the four scanners is consolidated in a PC by means of the QuellTech image processing software which calculates the difference between highest and lowest point of the corresponding surface and compensates for possible inclination of the slab (detrending).

Particular Challenge: For the assessment of rotating parts, numerous parameters have to be taken into consideration: Concentricity, radial run-out and axial run-out (i.e. wobble); furthermore thickness, diameter, planarity and the absence of surface defects had to be examined. The solution developed by QuellTech consists in a configuration of three Q6 Laser Laser Scanners.Each of the lateral surfaces is assigned to its own scanner. In order to enable the thickness precisely to be determined, both laser lines are mutually oriented in opposite direction. The third scanner inspects the outer circumference of the wheel, this way measuring diameter and radial run-out. All of these scanners are subject to encoder signals supplied by the rotary axis and synchronously triggered, so possible defects on the wheel can precisely be localized. The measurement takes place at a resolution of ca. 30 µm, and a cloud comprising several millions of points are obtained.

Wear is a damage consisting in gradual removal or deformation of material on solid surfaces, caused by mechanical (e.g. erosion) or chemical (e.g. corrosion) influences. In machine elements, wear may give rise to material failure or loss of functionality. For the application in question, our client has to measure wear on the surface of rollers in cement mills. Up from a certain depth, reactions are required, generated by a warning system to be developed In this project, we used several robust QuellTech Q6 scanners to cover fully the roller width. Due to the high rotational speed of the rollers, we preferred our fastest scanners for this application. We furthermore developed a software solution and implemented a warning system, based on the critical depth of the wears on the surface. By means of this system, the customer can determine the correct time for exchange of the rollers.

Laser Scanner Solution: This task is a typical application of the high-resolution QuellTech 2D/3D Q5-880 Blue Laser Scanners. Two of these units are placed at the left and at the right of the measuring objects, at a defined inclination angle. Blue laser light in this case is a prerequisite, as the cast parts are red-hot, hence emitting in the red spectral range. Additionally, the client was in need of a software solution for the project, so a 3D point cloud processing application was implemented, performing inline and evaluating width, height and angle results. QuellTech customer is able to inspect continuously the product quality, simultaneously avoiding scrap. He uses the same system for more than 10 different types of castings. Errors caused by manual inspection are considerably reduced, and safety for personnel is enhanced.

Many materials cannot be measured tactilely, therefore non-contact thickness measurements become necessary. Especially e.g. with glowing materials, or wet processes, a continuous tactile measurement is nearly impossible. Furthermore, web speeds in plant engineering and production have increased, requiring a corresponding fast sampling rate of the measuring systems. In addition, high measuring widths are often required. Why is contact free measurement technology so perfect for this application? Can be used in any web width, Scalable measurement thicknesses from a few millimetres to several meters, Thickness and coating thickness can be measured for different materials, Vibrations of the web materials, can be compensated, Turnkey solution for mechanical engineering, Non-contact and non-destructive measurement method, Large distances to the measured object are possible, Measurement of free forms,
