The Automatic Threading Rope Monitoring examines the condition of threading ropes and their expected lifetime 24/7 helping to prevent serious damages and expensive unplanned production shutdowns. Rope breaks can also form a safety hazard and cause severe damage to people and equipment.
The innovative camera-based Dry Line Analysis helps to identify paper profile problems accurately. With the help of smart Dry Line Analysis the operators can keep the dry line in it’s optimal place leading to enhanced product quality, reduced use of raw materials and energy savings.
Automatic optical measurement of Paper Roll ovality, eccentricity, and other dimensional features helps to assess product quality and ensure worker safety. Eccentricity measures how well the core is centered in the roll. If the core center is off from the roll center by more than a few millimeters, the roll may cause damage or create a safety hazard when unwound at the customer site.
The Procemex Roll Label Inspection Application ensures consistent quality in paper roll labeling in high-speed packaging and labeling lines. It captures images of the packaging line and notifies operator of any anomalies. The application verifies that the label is correctly attached, and all required information is present. Any critical faults are immediately reported to the control system.
Roll wrap quality inspection ensures the roll is properly protected, free of defects and provides traceability with documentation. It generates an ”as shipped” quality report and image record for each roll. Cameras analyze wrapping and headers for defects, and in case of critical defects, trigger an output to the control system.
Tail position identification reduces wrapping material and time. By placing the roll with the tail just past the starting point of the wrap, wrapping can be reduced by up to 50%. A camera detects the tail, allowing for precise positioning and saving up to 30 seconds per roll change.
Procemex machine vision application for roll roundness inspection is necessary for efficient operation and optimum paper quality. Out-of-round rolls will cause vibrations and can even damage customers unwind equipment.
Roll header detection using cameras reduces the risk of damage during packaging and transportation. Cameras capture images of both roll ends after wrapping, and check for the presence of an inner header. If missing, the control system is signaled, and the roll can be re-wrapped or have the inner header manually placed before the outer header is glued.
AI-enhanced Roll Surface Inspection detects deviations from the roll before wrapping. It analyses the ends of the roll and the surface of the roll. Roll surface inspection defects the tears, bumps on the ends, dirt and scratches. Deviations are identified with a classifier that identifies and separates labels, tapes and other parts of the roll from the possible defects.
