Have a application that is a roll of fabric that is approx 30 inches wide and moving on a conveyor at 50-80 yards per minute. We are looking at detecting if there is a hole in the fabric.
We have looked at a Keyence Vision System that looks like it will do the application. The concern is that the Vision system is something that would require technicians capable of working with it when needed. Hopefully all of the different types of fabric could be saved as a comparison which the Keyence is capable of but at some point somebody still has to maintain the Vision System.
I was on the Keyence web site and saw the Laser Profiler and then after doing a google search saw what a Laser Profiler is capable of doing.
Since the fabric is flat I was curious if anyone has tried a Laser Profiler. If there was a hole in the fabric it looks like the Profiler would see that as a defect.
The Vision system is capable but the Profiler appears to be a lot more simple for a technician on the equipment to maintain. It would not matter as much about the color of the fabric or the lighting and the fabric is always the same thickness.
Any suggestions for anyone who has experience with a Laser Profiler would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
