Computer Controls Make Sortation Flexible.A system touted as the most flexible yet can sort objects like bottles according to visual criteria like color and shape and also according to resin properties. Vision Sort, from Real Vision Systems GmbH in Koblenz, Germany, was introduced in the U.S. at the SPE's ARC 2000 conference last fall. It combines computer-controlled color-image analysis with near-infrared (NIR NIR Near Infrared NIR National Inventory Report NIR National Identity Register (UK) NIR Near-Infrared Reflectance NIR Non-Ionizing Radiation NIR Net International Reserves NIR National Internet Registry NIR Northern Ireland Railways ) spectroscopy to identify all characteristics of a sample at once. With a touchscreen, users determine which fraction is to be sorted out. Vision Sort identifies PE, PP, PS, EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) A PostScript file format used to transfer a graphic image between applications and platforms. EPS files contain PostScript code as well as an optional preview image in TIFF, WMF, PICT or EPSI, the latter being an ASCII-only format. , PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. , PET, PETG PETG Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol PETG Performance Evaluation Task Group , nylon and paper. Combinations of unlike objects and colors can be separated together in one pass, Real Vision says. |
