T60/In-Line
Automated Tortilla Inspection/Rejection
System
The T60 is a tortilla inspection system that automatically
measures the size, shape and
color characteristics of
baked tortillas and other flat products such as pizzas
and wafers. The system performs 100% inspection on all
products, with defective products automatically removed
based on user-defined criteria.
In addition to the basic size, shape and color information, the T60 also has the capability to detect product-specific
defects such as folds, bites, tears, holes and burn marks.
Defective tortillas are automatically
removed from the line by the integrated rejection array,
which blows defective products through a conveyor gap.
Rejection criteria is fully user-configurable, and can be
customized on a per-product basis (e.g., can be set up to
reject on hole detection only).
Data collected by the T60 is displayed in numerical format,
and in a variety of graphical formats such as trend graphs,
histograms and lane graphs. Production reports can also
be created which summarize daily, weekly or monthly performance
information.
