What are the main signs of malfunctioning nozzles?
The signs of malfunctioning nozzles in adhesive applications can be subtle yet devastating. Common irregularities such as material build-up, patchy area application, and uneven adhesive distribution can all point towards issues in your system due to aging segment pumps or mechanical failure.
Faulty equipment will contribute to the formation of air pockets and application misalignment, which eventually leads to compromised product quality and reduced process efficiency.
Discover the Selmatec Solution: Our HM-Inspector System
Our HM-Inspector system was designed to streamline adhesive applications with unparalleled precision and efficiency. By ensuring a stable temperature and even distribution of adhesive, the HM-Inspector system mitigates the risk of common irregularities. Additionally, by allowing you to detect issues instantly, it helps you to schedule maintenance to protect your equipment.
How does it work?
The HM-Inspector system automates the adhesive process with remarkable accuracy and optimization. It incorporates a line scanner that focuses on the backing tape, continuously delivering real-time data. The data is instantly displayed on the system’s software.
Thanks to the advancements of the new IR linescanner MP300 series, we can now offer double the line frequency from 150Hz to 300Hz. This increases the reliable full-area and gap-free line speed from a maximum of 0.75m/seconds to up to 1.5m/seconds.
The HM-Inspector not only does the monitoring job. Additionally, the system collects recipes/product-specific job images and transfers key variables, as well as warning messages to the system controls. Thus, you can perform optimization management to counteract a deteriorating order pattern.
As with our other machine vision solutions, our HM-Inspector system is fully scalable, allowing you to customize your solution with additional features according to your needs. For instance, the ThermoView TV30 IR camera series offers different models, which you can easily integrate for use on discontinuous coating lines at an excellent price/performance ratio.
