Compact System for Quality Inspection on the Conveyor for Glass, PET and Canning Lines
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
BBULL COMPACT LINE systems have been proven for many years as
quality inspection systems in production lines all over the world. The reliability
and simplicity of the systems in connection with minimum
installation
requirements and an outstanding cost/benefit relation have made BBULL
COMPACT LINE one of the most used inspection systems in the
beverage industry.
With the systems of the 2. generation, BBULL has
adapted
the proven
concept to current technical requirements and
possibilities.
For data processing and control, latest 32-bit processors
allow
improved
processing with optimized performance and
extended
features.
The big
alphanumeric displays allow
also the
monitoring
of uni-code signs in
order to present
the counters in all relevant
languages (e.g. Cyrillic,
Chinese, …).
Operation is done by 6-key buttons and alternatively via
windows-
client by Ethernet connection.
Of course the BBULL COMPACT LINE systems provide
all
required interfaces for connection to and in the
customers
network
for data acquisition. Via intra- or
internet the systems
can be
operated and maintained by
remote which allows
savings in service
and maintenance.
During design of the systems all relevant direction has
been
considered to fulfil all requirements of the CE
conformity.
IMPORTANT FEATURES

BBULL COMPACT PM (Pushermodule)
For simple application (without fill level) it is possible to supply the COMPACT LINE controller as low-cost pusher module.
The available inputs are used to combine fault
signals from different external sensors. The integrated tracking module
realizes the
container tracking to a following reject system. BBULL COMPACT PM pushermodule integrates all operation, monitor and
interface functions of the COMPACT LINE.
