VIU™ voor Elastische banden & Veters

The basic VIU™ is semi-automatic. In other words, the defects stop on the small VIT (Visual Inspection Table). Here, an operator can cut out, fix or mark the defect. But of course, stopping the inspection system drastically decreases the average inspection speed and thus affects the optimum efficiency. Furthermore, an operator has to be present at the machine to act on a found defect, before it can proceed.

For that purpose, the basic VIU™ can be extended with one or even two label applicators to label the found defect(s) on the fly, without the need to stop or slow down the inspection system. Single defects or a group of defects are labelled with the use of one label applicator. A special label algorithm merges defects within the specified ‘minimum label distance’. A second label applicator can optionally be used to set a ‘minimum length of good material’ using 2 different colors of labels.

Our labels are specifically designed to be easily released from the backing material of the roll in the applicator, but on the other hand have optimal adhesion characteristics on woven cotton, elastane or (semi) poly materials. The stainless steel guiding plate below the applicator enables a fine adjustment, to precisely apply labels on the smallest fabric widths.
