Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a method for inspecting, with the aid of a machine (1), transparent or translucent hollow articles (Aj) streaming past a series of monitoring stations each comprising at least one sensor (Ci) delivering an output signal (Si(j)) for each article (Aj) traveling past a sensor. According to the invention, the method consists in implementing at least one phase of assessing the setting of the machine consisting: in choosing compliant and defective reference articles (A′(j)), for each reference article (A′(j)), recording the output signals (S′i(j)) of the sensors with each of which are associated an identifier for the reference article concerned and an expected result (R′a(j)), in selecting together, during the processing of the signals, at least two recorded output signals [S′a(j)], [S′k(j)] corresponding to one and the same reference article, so as to obtain after processing, a result (R′j), and in comparing the result obtained by processing (R′j) regarding the defective or compliant character of each reference article with the expected result (Ra′(j)).
A method for inspecting, with the aid of a machine (1), transparent or translucent hollow articles (Aj) streaming at high speed in succession, past a series of monitoring stations each comprising at least one sensor (Ci) delivering an output signal (Si(j)) for each article (Aj) traveling past a sensor by considering that a sensor is able to see at least one article (Aj) travel past before the previous article (Aj−1) goes past the last sensor, the output signals (Si(j)) being processed so as to determine a result (Rj) indicating the compliant articles and the defective articles, characterized in that it consists in implementing at least one phase of assessing the setting of the machine consisting:
A machine for inspecting transparent or translucent hollow articles (Aj) streaming at high speed in succession, past a series of monitoring stations each comprising at least one sensor delivering an output signal (Si(j)) for each article (Aj) traveling past said sensor by considering that a sensor is able to see at least one article (Aj) travel past before the previous article (Aj−1) goes past the last sensor, the sensors being linked to a processing and monitoring unit (6) adapted for processing the output signals so as to determine a result (Rj) indicating the compliant articles and the defective articles, the processing and monitoring unit (6) comprising storage means (7) able to record at least output signals (Si(j)) of the sensors (Ci) and an article identifier (j) for each output signal (Si(j)), associated with said article, characterized in that the storage means (7) record output signals (S′i(j)) corresponding to compliant and defective reference articles (A′i(j)), with each of these reference articles are associated an identifier (j) for the reference article concerned and an expected result (R′a(j)) regarding the compliant or defective character of the reference article and in that the processing and monitoring unit (6) comprises:
