PAINT & POWDER If only you could see a video of the car body travelling through the oven to allow identification and location of such issues. The PhoenixTM Optic system has been developed specifically to allow such paint defect detection using Optical Profiling. Adapting the thermal barrier technology used for temperature profiling a high-resolution video camera can safely travel through the paint oven with an independent torch recording video footage of what the product sees. The system is just like your car ‘Dash Cam’ the only difference being that the journey is through a cure oven operating up to 200 °C. The Optic system can be mounted on a test body allowing monitoring of the exterior of a separate production body shell or potentially directly on a production body itself. In addition to paint defect detection the Optic system can be helpful in detecting other process problems specifically relating to the oven and conveyor system operation without physically having to access the oven. Identifying oven damage, badly adjusted ducting, faulty fans, failing jerky belt drives can allow pro-active corrective action and prevent lengthy down time and lost productivity.
