Neben einer schwingungsentkoppelten Plattform für optische Aufbauten stehen auch ein Förderband für den Einsatz mit zeilenförmig scannenden Sensoren (Zeilenkameras und push broom Sensoren) sowie ein Hubtisch zum vertikalen Transport freistehender Inspektionsobjekte zur 4-seitigen Inspektion zur Verfügung. Beide genannten Transporteinrichtungen stellen einen essenziellen Bestandteil für Anwendungen dar, in denen eine kontrollierte Bewegung des Messobjekts eine wesentliche Voraussetzung ist, wie beispielsweise für das Lichtschnittverfahren zur hochpräzisen 3D-Vermessung oder für den realitätsnahen Test von Methoden der Inline-Inspektion unter Echtzeitbedingungen.
Our equipment:
Climate and sustainability goals require the recovery and recycling of valuable materials from all possible sources. At present, recyclable materials from waste streams are difficult or impossible to recycle, making it all the more important to identify scarce and limited resources and process them with the minimum use of energy and processing aids.
We are researching a largely automated characterisation of the valuable substances and impurities contained. We see great potential in the fusion and multi-dimensional data analysis of all real-time capable sensors in combination with artificial intelligence algorithms. New multispectral camera systems allow data sets to be recorded in multiple wavelengths - from the visible to the near-infrared. These data can be used to derive a wide range of material properties that can be used to characterise the composition of material and product flows, for example in waste separation.
The overall system, which is unique in Austria includes a 3D camera, a UV camera, imaging spectrographs, NIR and multi-spectral cameras and acoustic sensors.
