SYSTEM STRUCTURE
Operating, Control and Processing Unit
STRATEC PC-4000
  Sensor Bridge
SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
   PC-based operation and processing
     system with graphical user interface
     and Touch-Screen operation
     Ultrasonic sensors for bottle
     height detection
   Light sensor for gap inspection
   Statistical and graphical presentation
     of the production details and
     system configuration
     Optical sensors for residual
     cap detection
   Monitoring of all relevant data      including rejection trend analysis
     with the possibility to present all
     the camera's pictures on the display
  The single sensors are furnished with a quick fixture to simplify the adaptation of the sensor positions in case of format change-over.
In case of frequent format changes we recommend the expansion with additional sensors, so that a change-over is possible without dislocating the sensors.
   Access to the user interface via
     individual passwords as
     numerical code
 
   Different access levels for
     different users
 
PROCESSING
SOFTWARE
  Sensor Bridge
IMAGE PROCESSING
Basic module
Each single sensor/camera sends crude data to the analysing PC. Out of these data the processing software calculates the individual characteristics (height, colour, format, cap) for each position in the crate. Depending on the adjusted values there is a result for each position and the crate is handled accordingly (controlling of the sorter packer, de-tection). The calculated data are statistically recorded and monitored on the user interface. Optionally the data can be transmitted via network to an external PC.   A CCD-Firewire-Camera inspects the crate from top down. The picture recording occurs in different steps (stripe picture) and is assembled to a complete picture by a special software in the processing module. The lighting occurs from below (recommended) or from above.
Depending on the software version this configuration can detect the colour of the bottle, swing tops and neck ring.

GLASS/PET DETECTION   CRATE SORTING DEVICE
Optionally the Glass/PET detection occurs by image processing with polarisation technique (please note: lighting is required from the bottom) or by x-ray technology (gas in the PET crate).   Depending on the requirements the system can be equipped with sensor technology (crate colour detection) or with lateral camera inspection bridge (logo sorting).
ADDITIONAL MODULE
FORMAT DETECTION
With special optics and reflector systems it is possible to generate a lateral view of the bottle format. Special software algorithms search for the collected bottle formats and compare them with the already saved data. Combined with the other bottle features (height, colour) each single bottle in the crate can be identified separately.
