20130087059 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING DECORATOR WHEEL BLANKET DEFECTS - A system and method to detect defects in ink blankets of a decorator wheel. An image of each of a plurality of ink blankets of a decorator wheel is acquired using an optical inspection device of the system as the decorator wheel rotates past the optical inspection device during an inking process. Each acquired image is correlated to a unique ink blanket of the plurality of ink blankets. Each acquired image is further matched to a unique standard image of a correlated unique ink blanket. Each acquired image is also compared to a matching unique standard image to determine any defects. | 04-11-2013 |
