Abstract: An inspection system is configured for use with a conveyer apparatus including carrier bars. Each carrier bar conveys pellet-shaped articles along a predetermined path. The inspection system includes at least one camera unit for sensing a predetermined characteristic of the pellet-shaped articles, a removal unit, and a controller. The removal unit, downstream from the at least one camera unit, removes selected pellet-shaped article(s) from the carrier bar(s) depending on whether the characteristic is sensed by the at least one camera unit. The controller is in communication with the at least one camera unit and the removal unit. The controller provides a signal to the removal unit in accordance with the sensed characteristic. The removal unit includes a rotatable ejection drum having extended vacuum nozzles along its length, equal to the number of articles conveyed in each carrier bar. Each vacuum nozzle selectively removes article(s) from the carrier bar(s) by suction.

Abstract translation: 检查系统构造成与包括承载杆的输送装置一起使用。 每个承载杆沿预定路径传送颗粒状物品。 检查系统包括用于感测颗粒状物品的预定特征的至少一个照相机单元，去除单元和控制器。 去除单元，从至少一个照相机单元的下游，取决于该特性是否被至少一个照相机单元感测到，从载体棒移除所选的颗粒状物品。 控制器与至少一个相机单元和拆卸单元通信。 控制器根据感测到的特性向去除单元提供信号。 移除单元包括可旋转的排出滚筒，其具有沿其长度延伸的真空喷嘴，其等于在每个承载杆中输送的物品的数量。 每个真空喷嘴通过抽吸选择性地从承载杆去除物品。
