SurfaceSTAR GS (Gel Sensor)

The SurfaceSTAR GS is a compact sensor unit that reliably monitors gels and black specks during the production of plastic film. It is based on the proven SMASH technology and the broad experience and technological competence from ISRA surface inspection with roughly 40 years of experience. SurfaceSTAR GS is designed as a single machine vision component by ISRA VISION directly for new lines or as a retrofit supplement for existing lines.

Due to its direct communication with the PLC process control, it forms a closed-loop system that counts and monitors defects when they arise. For example, it detects defects due to temperature fluctuations during extrusion, at the earliest possible point in time, passes them on to the process control, and thus enables rapid regulation. This prevents faulty manufacturing and saves costs.
