Abstract:
Se proporciona un sistema para inyeccion directa de radiacion o energia de longitud de onda infrarroja (IR) termica seleccionada en articulos para una amplia gama de propositos de procesamiento. Estos propositos pueden incluir calentamiento, elevacion o mantenimiento de la temperatura de los articulos, o estimular un articulo objetivo en un intervalo de circunstancias industriales, medicas, de consumo o comerciales diferentes. El sistema es especialmente aplicable a operaciones que requieren o se benefician de la habilidad para irradiar en longitudes de onda especificamente seleccionadas o para pulsar o inyectar la irradiacion. El sistema es particularmente ventajoso cuando funciona en velocidades mas altas y en un medio ambiente no de 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 (eg., 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 process and the use of illumination exposure techniques.
Abstract:
A laser diode based 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 wide range of different industrial, medical, consumer, or commercial applications. 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.
