Defect containment
Turn an inspection decision into proven physical containment. Reject timing, mechanism, tracking, confirmation and collection are engineered around product behaviour and line risk.
Product mass, speed, stability, fragility and spacing determine whether a simple divert is appropriate or a controlled robotic removal is required.
The system should know whether the reject action achieved its purpose. Downstream sensors, timed windows and reject-container monitoring can create a defined response when containment is not confirmed.
System sequence
Every stage is tested against the product, timing, interfaces and agreed response.
Maintain the decision against the correct physical item.
Act within the available window without disturbing good product.
Verify that the affected item left the accepted flow.
Manage collection, access, full-bin and fault response.
Typical applications
Final suitability and performance are confirmed only after review of the complete production application.
Application questions
These answers provide a starting point. Product trials and line data determine the project specification.
There is no universal answer. Product weight, shape, line speed, spacing, acceptable impact and available space determine the most reliable method.
The control system tracks the inspection result through distance, encoder movement, pockets or product registration until the item enters the reject window.
Yes. A missing confirmation can trigger an alarm, controlled stop or alternative diversion according to the agreed risk and operating philosophy.
