Plastic sheet surface control

Plastic sheet surface control at Rochling

Teams of developers and opticians-physicists joined forces in our large-scale sheet surface quality control projects. The implementation team perfectly manages the play of lights and shadows in the entire range of the field of view.

Our devices also detect miniature defects, handle 24/7 operation and can handle moving (extruded) material.

The turnkey PlasticSheets Opti control system for Rochling is responsible for continuous control of extruded plastic sheets and detecting defects of a minimum size of 1 mm. The production line has been running without a break for several years. And since they have a lot of work at Rochling, the equipment is serviced during its operation.
