Automatic Color Sorting System

 

 optIsort™ is a unique process color recognition system designed for high speed manufacturing applications. The system utilizes special optical components that facilitate remote measurement in reflectance or transmission mode, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications. optIsort™ is comprised of a high-speed, fiber optic spectrophotometer, host computer application and multi-axis positioning system to scan product samples. The system measures colorimetric differences and distributions in color patterns across a sample, making it an excellent system for characterizing grained, textured or patterned surfaces. The system can operate autonomously or as a component in an integrated distributed manufacturing system

optIsort's remote fiber optic measuring probe simplifies automatic measurement and provides process isolation for the measuring system.

optIsort's auto-calibration facilities eliminates operator intervention and chances of failure. Turnkey systems can require virtually no operator intervention.

optIsort's key system components are located off machine and out of harms way to protect the investment. The measuring system is isolated from hazards of the process to maintain up-time. Routine maintenance tasks are simplified by the modular design. System components may be exchanged with little or no affect on performance.
