High Speed Imaging of Manufacturing Processes
Understand even the fastest of manufacturing processes and problems.
Intertek experts can capture for review high-speed manfacturing proccesses, allowing for detailed study of slow motion imaging sequences. This capability allows our clients to better understand manufacturing, factory and process production problems. Seeing in slow motion for the first time what really happens at high speed.
An example of this service is a video which shows the behaviour of wrapping paper after it has been cut, and the knife opens. Occasionally, the paper slips out of the gripping fingers before they open. This explains why the wrapping paper is too short and the glue unintentionally applied on the product.
This was only spotted thanks to a 1000 frames/sec recording. The entire sequence is only 60ms (micro-seconds) long! The problem was then successfully fixed. High speed motion capture allows Intertek experts to see and troubleshoot manufacturing problems associated with paper production and other processes.
