Rejection Control Basics
The FT-50 identifies and then tracks any container that fails inspection.
Tracking begins the moment the container crosses the inspection trigger
beam in the and ends when the container reaches the rejector centerline.
Figure 1-3.
Tracking containers that fail inspection.
To maintain container tracking and to synchronize the rejector to the
conveyor, the FT-50 uses a high-resolution encoder coupled directly to the
conveyor drive sprocket. The encoder sends timing pulses to the FT-50
which uses the pulses to determine the container’s position as it moves
along the conveyor between the FT-50 and the rejector. When the
container reaches the rejector centerline the FT-50 emits a reject signal
which activates the rejector and removes the container from the
production line.
