Thanks to the modular concept, different camera types can be used depending on the inspected material. As well as optical 25-micron, high-resolu- tion cameras – which detect black specks and discolorations – an X-ray camera can detect metallic contamination. Typical systems on the market have a maximum


of two optical cameras. However, these quickly reach their limits due to relatively low coverage as soon as the contamination is outside the field of view, says Sikora.


camera, so a significantly higher detection rate is achieved – and more contaminants are detected,” said Kulenkampff. The device sorts out detected contamination via a hybrid ‘blow-out’ unit. A customer can define less critical contaminants – and select a smaller blow- out unit for these. These include small, light-color- ed black specks that frequently occur in the material. However, a larger blow-out unit is used for critical contaminants, such as metal particles, which can impair the functionality of end products. “The interaction of reliable detection and hybrid blow-out ensures the highest material quality,” said Kulenkampff. “At the same time, production processes are optimised, and the reduced by-catch contributes to cost-efficient and sustainable production.”


It will also show its Purity Concept V laboratory testing device. Within a few seconds, test material can be inspected for metal contamination or optical deviations. Sikora is encouraging visitors to bring material samples to K2022, where it can analyse them. � www.sikora.net
