High speed cameras: practical and easy to use<\/h1>\n

With industrial production lines, it can sometime be difficult to adjust a machine <\/strong> when a fault occurs. Maintenance teams often use high speed cameras to solve the issue. The cameras help them locate and fix the malfunction at its source<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These cameras are extremely useful for companies that have several assembly lines. But what are high speed cameras used for? How are they set up? How could your company benefit from the use of high speed cameras?<\/p>\n

What are high speed cameras used for?<\/h2>\n

High speed cameras provide great support for maintenance teams<\/strong> that oversee industrial production lines. Easy to install, they capture the different malfunctions that can occur on a production line<\/strong>. Most normal cameras record up to 30 images per second. High speed cameras on the other hand, can capture up to several thousand images per second.<\/p>\n

In doing so, they slow down the movements in the assembly line process. For example, at 500 images per second, the footage of one second in real time is slowed down to last roughly 20 seconds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The aim of this slowing down is to ascertain the cause of a technical problem <\/strong> on the production line. Due to the speed of the machinery, faulty or non-compliant packaging cannot be seen by the naked eye<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is why maintenance operators need cameras of this type. They enable the production line maintenance teams to analyse and correct the defect almost instantaneously.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Identification of a problem of missed caps on a bottling line, thanks to a high speed camera.<\/p><\/div>\n

Whether it is damaged packaging, missing caps, or misalignment of a machine, the tiniest movement can be analysed <\/strong>by a high speed camera. On average, a factory that is not equipped with high speed cameras will lose between 5% and 20% of its production capacity<\/strong>. The use of high speed cameras makes it possible to identify and correct the issue in record time. High speed cameras are not fixed, and can be relocated <\/strong> at different points on the assembly line. Unfortunately some systems are often cumbersome and difficult to set up on site.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So if you are looking for a high-performance solution that is easy to use, our TroublePad high speed camera <\/strong> is made for you.<\/p>\n

A comprehensive product that can be set up immediately<\/h2>\n

Our TroublePad high speed imaging system was designed by a partnership between our own teams and our clients, and provides maintenance operators with a simple, compact tool for identifying all of the problems<\/strong> that can arise on a production line. Consisting of a high speed camera, a tablet and a mount, the TroublePad only takes seconds to install.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its compact design means maintenance technicians can set the camera up in whatever position they require. <\/strong> This can be beside the product line, or in a narrower space. Our high speed camera adapts to every possible environment. <\/strong> Its inbuilt lighting system guarantees a sharp image even at very high speeds.<\/p>\n

Using the touchscreen tablet,<\/strong> the camera is driven by pre-installed software that enables the operator to follow the recording, or to watch the live video images.<\/strong> For more convenience, it is possible to enslave the camera to your production<\/strong> line thanks to the use of a trigger box. This box is optional, but has many qualities that allow the maintenance technician to save a lot of time<\/strong>. Using the trigger box they can:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Start and stop recording<\/li>\n
  • Mark (highlight) the different images that will help fine tune the production line<\/li>\n
  • Record and store a few seconds before and after the event<\/li>\n
  • Set the system up in \u2018watchdog\u2019 mode, so that recording is automatically triggered when an error occurs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The trigger box enables the TroublePad to be set up to act as a slave to your automated machinery. TroublePad can then operate independently as your production line\u2019s watchdog<\/p><\/div>\n

    Other advantages of the TroublePad system:<\/h3>\n

    Unlike other high speed camera systems, TroublePad takes no time to install and is operational immediately. <\/strong> This aspect really sets it apart from its competitors. Most of the high speed cameras on the market are difficult to install <\/strong>and have complex interfaces. With quick installation and ease of use<\/strong> the TroublePad high speed camera provides real benefits to the industrial maintenance teams that use it.<\/p>\n

    How do our high speed cameras help our clients\u2009?<\/h2>\n

    Our high speed camera is in use in many different industries all over France. <\/strong>TroublePad is an integral part of everyday operations for several major companies.<\/strong> As machine stoppage times are reduced and production is optimised, the factory is automatically more cost-effective.<\/strong> This is why our clients choose the TroublePad system. The high speed camera also enables them to improve the working conditions of their maintenance teams.<\/p>\n

    It is certainly the case for Mo\u00ebt et Chandon<\/a> where our systems enabled the company to carry out complex adjustments and tuning on high speed bottling machines.<\/strong> Thanks to the TroublePad, the maintenance technicians were able to reduce production stoppage time dramatically on the bottling line. With the possibility of visualising the slightest offset and observe the machinery in slow motion, the operators were able to fine-tune the production line.<\/strong><\/p>\n
