Extrusion International USA 1-2021

40 Extrusion International 1/2021 QUALITY CONTROL Inspection technology increases product quality. Upgrading the exist- ing extrusion line with the external Film Surface Analyser (FSA100EXT) optimises quality control in the poly- mer production process. It thus con- tributes to a signi fi cant improvement and assurance of product quality. Some renowned polymer manufac- turers use this extended form of con- trol and assurance in their production lines. The customised frame allows easy and quick adaptation into the existing plant at customer side. and the defects are classi fi ed accord- ingly, providing information about the fi lm quality. OCS Optical Control Systems GmbH Wullener Feld 24, 58454 Witten, Germany www.ocsgmbh.com External Inspection Solution for Highest Polymer Quality OCS not only designs tailor-made (laboratory) extrusion lines to the individual speci fi cations and needs of customers as an overall concept, but also offers external inspectionmonitoring for OCS third-party extrusion lines. The external Film Surface Analyser (FSA100EXT) is an optoelectronic inspection system for polymer fi lm and provides real-time defect analysis with customer-speci fi c result display Optimal defect detection at the highest level State-of-the-art camera technology is concealed in the customised OCS frame. The advanced V2 camera tech- nology consists of a high-resolution dual-line CMOS camera and a user- speci fi c high-performance LED. This combination enables optimal defect detection in transparent, opaque and coloured polymer fi lm. With the OCS FSA100 software, the measure- ment results are analysed according to customer-speci fi c speci fi cations OCS FSA100EXT LED lighting OCS FSA100EXT implementation
