KIS II PLus
back

The fully automatic card inspection system KIS was the first working card inspection system worldwide and in is entirely still unequalled. The design was made under the premise not to damage the card during the whole handling and inspection process. This, of course, included the demand that the cards have not to be handled manually completely from the infeed to the outfeed. The system was continously developed further in order to cope with the customer`s requirements.

Cards contained in the LOUDA - standard magazines are placed on a converyor belt which transfers the magazine to the separating station where each individual card is separated and brought on a rotating vacuum drum. Exposures are taken, 2 of each surface of the card, each 1 by means of the monochrome camera for the inspection of the surface with regard to mechanical damages or faults and 1 by the clour camera to inspect the printing and the optical features of the card with regard to colour tones, appearance and shape. The set-up for this inspection with all the appropriate tolerances depending on the requirements of the different areas of the surface has been carried out prior at the set-up-station. After evalution the cards are sorted automatically into a LOUDA-magazine for accepted cards and into another LOUDA-magazine for the reject cards. Both of these magazines are brought off the machine automatically on belt conveyors. The conveyors are capable to buffer each 10 magazines at the infeed and the outfeed end. Thus, the operator needs not to stay with the machine all the time for serving it.
