BBULL VK-400 with Sensor Technology (Ultrasound)
Full Crate Inspection System to
be installed after the Packer on the Conveyor
GENERAL INTRODUKTION
The last possible time to recognize missing
and complete a crate or reject it, is between the
packer and the palletizer.
If a badly filled crate is merely stacked on the pallet, missing bottles are
recognize at the earliest
by the customer.
The use of the BBULL ultrasound full crate inspection BBULL VK-400 allows
manufacturers to
recognize and to sort out incompletely packed crates at full
production speed.
The outstanding feature of the BBULL VK-400 is it`s simple operation.
It
offers an
optimal comfort and high performance, but with an extremly low
space requirement.
The profiles of the current types of crates are stored in memory TEACH IN,
(It´s possible to store up to 16 different types of crates).
Changing the crate type can be done without mechanical modifications and
requires only the touch of a button.
MODE
OF OPERATION
The
system consists of a sensor bridge and the control unit
BBULL PC-400 or PC-500. The sensor bridge is
adjustable in height
through a
spindle (Used for installation only).
The sensor bridge is equipped with a line of 30 high-frequency (400 kHz)
ultrasound
sensors.
While being transported through the sensor bridge the crate is scanned with
a
scan rate of 450 times/s. The high frequency ultrasound in combination with
the high scan rate allows a very reliable inspection. The evaluation of the
sensor signals as well as the control to the rejection unit is carried out by
the control unit.
To guarantee a trouble-free operation, we recommend a transport
through the sensor bridge over a rubber belt and a crate separation of 100 -
150 mm.
