QuatroPBC

To detect defects, information about the surface obtained using a laser, as well as conventional camera shots, is used.

The QuatroPBC system is installed on the production line after the press, above the conveyor. The pallets of tiles passing under the device are non-contact measured by an industrial laser, at the same time, to detect defects in the tile face, 5 cameras simultaneously take a high-resolution photo of each pallet at 35 frames per second.

The resulting photos of pallets are processed using a pre-trained neural network. Every time there is a defect in the image, the network reports it to the operator interface using a color signal. Yellow frame - a tile with a defect, purple - a repeating defect.

The neural network processes photos at a speed of one pallet of 130 tiles in 2 seconds, which allows you to receive information online and, if necessary, stop the conveyor for further action.

Yes. Now we develop a new approach to determining defects, which is based on determining the type of defects: cracks, holes, and inclusions. Thanks to this approach, the system learns to determine the type, class, and size of the defect. It becomes possible to disable the definition of a defect by class, size, or type.

The procedure for further actions to deal with defective products depends on the regulations of your manufacture. There are several options for the development of events:

1. The operator can remove defective bricks before or after the curing chamber;
2. QuatroPBC will stop the conveyor (for this you need to set up the integration of the quality control system and the production line);
3. QuatroPBC will signal the operator to stop the conveyor.

These events are configured separately for each enterprise, taking into account the capabilities of the enterprise itself - one of the main ones is whether integration with the production line can be configured.

At the moment, the built-in visual warning system in the operator interface helps to prevent the production of defective products. The definition of repeated defects is highlighted with a purple frame on the operator's screen. Determination of stones with a defect - yellow frame.

You can use only the detection function, which includes the collection and visualization of defect statistics. Defect detection is included in the PRO. You can find out more about the PRO version by writing to us at info@quatromatic.com Our manager will provide detailed information
