On-line monitor

Article Abstract:

Burke Industries Inc of San Jose, CA uses Flow Vision Inc's Advisor on-line surface inspection monitor to reduce the production of scrap by 80% in the company's roofing membrane manufacturing process. The system, which is computer-programmable, discriminates product surface defects by type and size. The Advisor system consists of a computerized console, monitors, video cameras and light source. The camera detects light changes occurring on roofing membrane surfaces passing beneath the vision system, and sends signals to web operators to allow them to identify defects on the products.
