DETECTION AND
RECOGNITION
OF CRITICAL DEFECTS
Benefiting from years of exper-
tise at the cold-end, Tiama devel-
oped this critical defect detec-
tion and recognition feature at
the hot-end. Indeed, the powerful
algorithms from the Tiama cold-
end machines have been
adapted in order to be
implemented in the
Tiama HOT eye.
Not only the system
is able to detect criti-
cal defects, but it can
also identify its exact
type. Birdswings,
wings and blisters
are examples of criti-
cal defects that can
be recognized by the
Tiama HOT eye. If
one of these defects is
found by the system, it
will be rejected and an alarm will
appear on the machine to warn the
operator.
