Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for mass and/or volume measurements of manufactured articles. More particularly, this invention relates to a method and apparatus for mass and/or volume measurements that can be performed on-line in a part manufacturing process. On-line measurement of the mass or volume of material contained in a specific region of interest of the manufactured items is performed 100% on-line. Real-time process control information is based on real-time measurement of the mass or volume of material contained in a specific region of interest of a manufactured item. Automated quality control inspection for manufactured articles is based on real-time measurement of the mass or volume of material contained in a specific region of interest of manufactured items. A manufacturing closed-loop process is directly corrected to keep it within control limits based on real-time measurement of the mass or volume of material contained in a specific region of interest of manufactured items soon after these items are manufactured.

Abstract: An inspection system is provided comprising at least one detection element (60) sensitive to electromagnetic radiation (20) at a wavelength wherein the object (10) to be inspected is rendered opaque by naturally occurring material molecular absorptions. As such, material defects such as cracks and voids can be detected.

Abstract: A system for direct injection of selected thermal-infrared (IR) wavelength radiation or energy into articles for a wide range of processing purposes is provided. These purposes may include heating, raising or maintaining the temperature of articles, or stimulating a target item in a range of different industrial, medical, consumer, or commercial circumstances. The system is especially applicable to operations that require or benefit from the ability to irradiate at specifically selected wavelengths or to pulse or inject the radiation. The system is particularly advantageous when functioning at higher speeds and in a non-contact environment with the target.

Abstract: Se proporciona un sistema basado en diodo láser para la inyección directa de radiación o energía de longitud de onda térmica-infrarroja (IR) seleccionada en artículos para una gran variedad de propósitos de procesamiento. Estos propósitos pueden incluir calentar, elevar o mantener la temperatura de los artículos o estimular un elemento objetivo en una gran variedad de diferentes aplicaciones industriales, médicas, de consumidor o comerciales. El sistema se aplica sobre todo a operaciones que requieren o se benefician de la capacidad de irradiar en longitudes de onda específicamente seleccionadas o de pulsar o inyectar la radiación. El sistema es particularmente ventajoso cuando funciona a grandes velocidades y en un ambiente sin contacto con el objetivo.

Abstract: This application relates to an apparatus and method for automated inspection of formed metal containers. More specifically, it pertains to the use of machine vision systems to identify and correlate manufacturing defects occurring in formed food and beverage containers to specific manufacturing paths or sources of origin (e.g., body makers) used in the container forming process. The disclosed invention is enabled by the placement of a machine- readable code on specific portions of the can body during the forming proces s and the use of illumination exposure techniques.
