摘要:
The operation of parts or groups of parts in discrete machines or groups of cooperating machines for the treatment, processing and/or transport of plain or filter-tipped smokers'' products and/or their components is monitored by discrete detectors. The detectors produce signals in response to detection of malfunctions of the respective parts or groups of parts. Such signals are utilized to stop one or more machines as well as to operate circuits or devices which count and record the number of malfunctions of each part or group of parts within a selected period of time, and which also record the length of intervals of idleness of one or more machines as a result of malfunctioning of each part or group of parts as well as the ratio of intervals of idleness to the length of a selected period, such as a day''s shift or a week.
摘要:
The output of a single machine or a group of cooperating machines for the production and/or processing of smokers'' products is monitored by signal generating devices which determine the number of satisfactory and unsatisfactory products produced within a given period of time. The signals which are generated by such devices are fed into a system of calculating circuits which carry out automatic computing operations and feed information to recording devices which record the actual output at any particular stage of operation, the potential output within a given period of time, the output of satisfactory and unsatisfactory products and/or other data which can be evaluated to gain information concerning all phases of the output or lack of output and the probable cause or causes of unsatisfactory output.
