It is considered a suburb of both Akron and Cleveland, but is actually older than Akron. , a maker of integrated process-control systems, has added real-time 1. real-time - Describes an application which requires a program to respond to stimuli within some small upper limit of response time (typically milli- or microseconds). Process control at a chemical plant is the classic example. part-color analysis to its product line. Facts has formed a technology agreement with Equitech International Corp., New Ellenton Ellenton may refer to:
1. a Nicol prism attached to a polarizing apparatus which extinguishes the ray of light polarized by the polarizer. 2. into Facts process controls. The color analyzer was originally used in extrusion and chemical applications and is now offered to injection molders to monitor, control, and log part color during production. Its color monitoring See monitor. system uses a non-contact fiber-optic probe to measure brightness/darkness, red/green balance, and yellow/blue balance of a part The probe can be mounted on the frame of the injection press, and the part can be held up to the probe by robot or by hand. The probe both illuminates the part and reads the reflected light. The unit compares the real-time parameters to a specified color profile and displays results of the three parameters, and it also shows the color-measurement tolerance, accurate to 0:1 Delta E. Calculation time is 0.5 sec. The probe comes in various sizes able to measure a spot on the part from less than 1 mm up t.o 2 in. diam. Data can be collected and stored for historical records.
