Identification and tracking of Particulate Filters

For this application, Technifor has designed a complete marking and reading workstation directly integrated in the PF refurbishing and cleaning process. The solution is composed of 2 workstations each with a CN312Cm marking head and a vision system, for both initial and final permanent identification. After data reception from the PLC, the PF is directly marked with a Data Matrix code composed of 24 alphanumeric characters. This 2D code is used to track the PF through the cycle. At the end of the process, the second Technifor station marks the weight of the refurbished PF in Human Readable Characters (H.R.C). The process is controlled by a traceability network with PLC communication (BUS) that communicates and stores all the information in a PC with Technifor verification software. For this application, we have designed an industrial camera enclosure to perfectly control the lighting intensity and guarantee a reliable and consistent reading rate.
