Rheology Solutions FSA100 modular surface inspection system

FSA100 is a modular surface inspection system for use in laboratories and production. The film quality is assessed optoelectronically through the use of high-resolution line cameras and the appropriate illumination technology. The measurement data are stored in an inspection report so that later analysis is possible at any time.

The modular concept permits the use of different camera and illumination constellations and can therefore be optimally used for transparent, dyed and non-transparent plastic films.

In addition to the recognition and classification of defects, the system can also be used for analysis, recording, archiving and documentation purposes.

Defects such as contamination, gels, fibres, foreign particles and black specks can be investigated using the system. Every defect detected is transferred with the defect image to the measurement protocol together with its feature vector (position, size, shape). Defect analysis is performed in real time with rapid evaluation and representation of the measurement results in various ways.

The system features modular architecture and a menu-guided Windows desktop with individual window representation. Optimum lighting technology includes the use of special lighting techniques (filters, diffusers) depending on the material to be inspected.

Fields of application include transparent materials - (LLDPE, LDPE, HDPE, PC, PS, PET etc) and non-transparent materials - (rubber or dyed plastics etc).
