I am also from the potato world. I remember seeing a post you made a little while ago about high speed cameras and food and I thought to myself I have probably worked on your equipment in the past.
Did you work on equipment by Kiremko or KEY or Tomra? They seem to be the big three (in Aus anyway) and I have worked with them all. My answer to the length is like other smart arses... get a strip sorter and it will tell you!
I was once asked if I wanted to do a Simco Ramic optical sorter training course in Oregon, I'm in Perth, western Australia. Sure, would love to.
When they contacted Simco Ramic to arrange course was told would have to do it at one of our sites in Australia as they couldnt even find a model as old as ours were , even on their scrap heap.
Even the model we had that ran on basicly a 286 computer was capable of measuring a 1mm fault on a potato chip at 100ft/sec.
Amazing tech watching a camera pick up a blemish and blow only that chip off 6 inches later.
We replaced it years ago with a Key tech Raptor I think it was.
