Functional Description
Normal Analysis
The sample is poured via the hopper (1) to the feeder (2).
The feeder pushes the sample upwards over the slide onto the conveyor belt (3). A
built-in vibration of the feeder slide distributes the kernels evenly over the conveyor
belt.
As the sample is brought forward by the belt, the camera (4) continuously takes
pictures of all kernels.
The camera unit consists of a line-scan camera for image reproduction and a 3D laser
for determination of physical parameters (length, height, volume).
Images are processed by the internal processor, also called prediction engine, (5) and
the final results are displayed on the external PC (6).
After completion of the analysis, the kernels are collected in the drawer (7) for
disposal or archiving.
