摘要:
A device for identifying the ends of moving objects comprises a first feed surface (2) for transporting objects (100) positioned one after another with their ends in contact with one another, and a second feed surface (3), for transporting objects (100) positioned one after another arriving from the first feed surface (2), adjacent to the first feed surface (2), there being a difference in height (4) between these surfaces. A sensor (6) is operatively associated with the difference in height (4) to detect an end of at least one object (100). A method for identifying the ends of moving objects comprises the steps of: feeding a plurality of objects (100) positioned with their ends in contact with one another along a path; creating a misalignment between two objects (100) fed along the path so as to at least partly expose the ends of the misaligned objects (100); and detecting the end of at least one of the objects (100) positioned at the misalignment zone.
摘要:
A process for recognising, in a processing cycle performed in sequence in a plurality of separate processing stations, the item to be subjected to the respective processing each time, comprising the following operating steps for each item, to be performed in the first processing station at the latest:
a) application of an identification mark on the surface of the item; b) association of a dedicated electronic memory with the identification mark; c) saving of the physical characteristics of the item already known in advance, if they exist, in the electronic memory dedicated to the identification mark. According to the invention the process also comprises, in the first processing station and for each item to be processed, the following additional operating step d): the image of the identification mark on the surface of the item is detected and this image is electronically saved in the electronic memory dedicated to this identification mark, and subsequently in each processing station after the first and for each item to be processed, the process comprises the following additional operating steps: e) before the item is fed into the processing station the image of the identification mark on the surface of the item is detected; f) the image detected during the previous operating step e) is compared with all of the images saved in the various electronic memories dedicated to the various identification marks and the one which most closely resembles the image detected in the previous operating step e) is identified; g) the identification mark associated with the image saved that was identified in the previous operating step f) is identified; h) all of the characteristics saved in the electronic memory dedicated to the identification mark identified in the previous step g) are assigned to the item about to enter the processing station; i) the processing to be performed on the item in the processing station is adapted to the physical characteristics assigned to the item in the previous operating step h).
摘要:
The invention relates to a device for measuring a transversal section (4) of a longitudinally-laid body (5) translating in a longitudinal direction. Two first rigid and straight support elements (13, 14) lie and intersect on a measuring plane (6), each of which support elements (13, 14) bears on a longitudinal side facing the body (5) a plurality (15, 16) of light sources (17, 18) aligned along longitudinal axes (11, 12) of the support elements (13, 14) and each emits a light beam (19) in a direction lying on the measuring plane (6) and perpendicular to the axes (11, 12) of the support elements (13, 14). Successive single light beams (19) are emitted in a perpendicular direction by each light source (17, 18) according to a sequence corresponding to an alignment of the light sources (17, 18). Two second support elements (23, 24) lie on the measuring plane (6) of the transversal section (4), each of which second support elements (23, 24) bears a plurality (25, 26) of light sensors (27, 28) picking up the light beam (19) emitted from each of the light sources (17, 18), according to a real configuration of the transversal section (4) to be measured as well as to the position of the plurality of sensors (27, 28) with respect to the light sources (17, 18). The device further comprises an auxiliary measuring system (3) acting on the measuring plane (6).
