20140333755 | System and Method for Individually Inspecting Objects in a Stream of Products and a Sorting Apparatus Comprising Such System - A system and a method for inspecting a stream of products ( | 11-13-2014 |
20130056398 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INSPECTING AND SORTING A STREAM OF PRODUCTS - The invention concerns an apparatus for sorting a stream of products, comprising a supply system for supplying the stream of products to a scanning zone, a background element positioned behind the scanning zone, at least one inspection unit comprising a scanning unit for illuminating the product stream along the entire width W of the stream of products, and a detection unit for capturing a zone of light returned by the products, the apparatus further comprising a reject system, the apparatus being characterized in that said background element comprises means to capture incident light and to direct it to detector means that is configured to convert said light into an electric signal. The invention equally concerns a method for sorting a stream of products. | 03-07-2013 |
20120279909 | GUIDE PLATE FOR GUIDING BULK PRODUCTS AND SORTING MACHINE WITH SUCH A GUIDE PLATE - This application describes a guide plate for collecting and discharging bulk products ( | 11-08-2012 |
20100046826 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USE IN INSPECTING AND/OR REMOVING UNSUITABLE OBJECTS FROM A STREAM OF PRODUCTS AND A SORTING APPARATUS IMPLEMENTING THE SAME - Disclosed is a method and system for inspecting and sorting unsuitable or irregular objects in a stream of products, the system includes means for scanning the stream of products along a scan line. The scan line is formed by means of at least one light source directing light along the scan line, and means for detecting light beams reemitted by the product stream upon scanning. The scanning means includes a focusing means for concentrating the light in at least one dimension. The detecting means includes a focusing means for forming an image in an image plane. The detecting means is oriented towards the scan line such that points on the scan line form a projected scan line in the image plane and the image substantially located in the image plane is substantially focused in at least one dimension by the focusing means. The detecting means also includes a spatial filtering means that filters the image in substantially the direction perpendicular to the direction of the projected scan line. | 02-25-2010 |
