XRS INSPECTION AND SORTING OF PLASTIC CONTAINING OBJECTS PROGRESSING ON PRODUCTION LINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240035989 titled 'XRS INSPECTION AND SORTING OF PLASTIC CONTAINING OBJECTS PROGRESSING ON PRODUCTION LINE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an X-ray spectroscopy (XRS) inspection station used for inspecting objects on a production line. The station includes XRS inspection systems that define inspection regions and perform XRS inspection sessions on objects passing through these regions. The systems generate XRS inspection data pieces that indicate the XRS signature of markings embedded in the plastic material composition of the object. The inspection station also includes an analyzer utility that generates object status based on the XRS inspection data, and a control unit that generates sorting data for the object based on its status.
- X-ray spectroscopy (XRS) inspection station for inspecting objects on a production line
- XRS inspection systems define inspection regions and perform XRS inspection sessions on objects passing through
- Systems generate XRS inspection data pieces indicating XRS signature of markings embedded in plastic material composition of the object
- Detection units detect response of object to exciting radiation and generate corresponding XRS inspection data pieces
- Analyzer utility generates object status based on XRS inspection data
- Control unit generates sorting data for the object based on its status
Potential applications of this technology:
- Quality control in manufacturing processes
- Detection of counterfeit or substandard products
- Identification of specific materials or compositions in objects
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures the integrity and composition of plastic materials in objects
- Enables efficient and accurate inspection of objects on a production line
- Helps identify and prevent the use of counterfeit or substandard materials
Benefits of this technology:
- Improves product quality and reliability
- Enhances manufacturing efficiency and productivity
- Reduces the risk of using counterfeit or substandard materials
- Enables better control and monitoring of production processes
Original Abstract Submitted
an x-ray-spectroscopy (xrs) inspection station is presented for inspecting objects progressing on a production line. the xrs station comprises: at least one xrs inspection system each defining an xrs inspection region and performing one or more xrs inspection sessions on the object passing through the inspection region while progressing on the production line and generating xrs inspection data piece for said object. the xrs inspection system comprises at least one emitter, each producing x-ray or gamma-ray exciting radiation to excite at least a portion of the object, and at least one detection unit that detects a response of said at least portion of the object to the exciting radiation and generates corresponding xrs inspection data pieces comprising data indicative of an xrs signature of marking(s) embedded in plastic material composition of the object, said data indicative of the xrs signature being informative of one or more conditions of plastic material composition in the object. the inspection system also includes an analyzer utility adapted to, generate, based on the xrs inspection data pieces, object status in association with identification data of the respective object. also provided at the inspection station is a control unit which is adapted to generate, based on the object status data, sorting data in relation to said object for use at a sorting station of the production line.
