Coltex

Overview

Coltex is a modular and automatic inspection system designed to provide a continuos spectrographic control of fabrics.
It is an alternative to current expensive systems for colour control and can detect defect as:

• Centre-selvage colour control measurement expressed in dE
• Measurement of the difference between start and end of roll expressed in dE.
• Measurement of the difference between sample and roll expressed in dE.
• Graphical signalling of Uneven

No more uneasy hoses for laboratory controls.
The spectrograph equipped with specific integrating spheres and high accuracy CCD camera, allows continuous and multi-point colour measurements with performances comparable to common spectrometers.
Real-time results are presented to the user on-line and are stored in specific files for later use.

Highlights

• Maps storage for following off-line reprocessing.
• Triggers alarm when out of tolerance colours are detected.
• Performs roll colour classification.
• Fast Ethernet communication for data exchange.
• Data export in XML format
• DyeLot manager
