CUBiSCAN - a powerful and economical solution for your foreign
matter contamination
30 years of know-how in foreign fibre detection and ejection allow
us to offer a flexible, economical and efficient solution.
The CUBiSCAN uses up to 6 identical - German-made smart cameras for
high speed processing and very short response times. All features
can be integrated in a compact machine. A plurality of particles can
be eliminated by use of different illumination.
Colour feature for detection of foreign coloured particles
Polarization feature for transparent film and sheet material.
Gloss module for particles that are whiter or shinier than average material.
LED lighting for longevity and high- intensity illumination.
UV lighting for detection of fluorescent particles.
A Siemens central processor, with LCD touch screen, exchanges data with the cameras, with the operator, or with the factory's data system.
The inspection windows can be easily slid out to either side for cleaning.
The machine body is made out of stainless steel. Standard high speed valves eject the material to a suction fan.
24 VDC used in all electrical elements.

CUBiSCAN uses high resolution
image processing colour cameras.
A new image acquisition and processing concept allows high
speed image reading at 7000 lines per second with 2560
colour pixels per line.
This high resolution is needed to detect small contamination
and it is also very useful to guarantee constant detection
results even at small colour variation.
The detection sensitivity is set by a rotary switch, which
makes the machine very easy to operate. Camera and computer
are very small and use highly integrated components. No
mechanical memory drives are used. The positive removal
avoids the recycling of ejected material.
CUBiSCAN is a very flexible and compact machine.
With a machine size of 400x1290x1280 mm and less than 280 kg
weight the CUBiSCAN 800 is very small compared to previous
machines, but offers powerful performance. The small
footprint and the option between horizontal and vertical
fibre flow reduces the piping costs and makes it very
flexible to install in existing opening lines. For high
production rates HERGETH GmbH offers CUBiSCANs with broader
scanning widths. |

CUBiSCAN and the additional options
The CUBiSCAN is a very economical and reliable product without
unnecessary complications. Features like the paper print-out or the
network module are optional. Communication modules can be added to
follow detection statistics. In the CUBiSCAN it is possible to
double the number of valves or cameras depending on the needs.
CUBiSCAN is an economical solution.
Due to the size and the weight of the CUBiSCAN,
installation and
transport costs are reduced to a minimum. As the CUBiSCAN can
directly be mounted on the machine (e.g. opener) or very close to
it, long pipes are not necessary. The rectangular connection funnel
keeps the fibres opened and spread across the width. The very simple
design makes the machine robust, economical and easy to operate, so
the user training can be made in just a few hours. The system uses
smart valves. If a foreign matter is at the right side of a valve
area, also the right neighbouring valve is activated.
Also machines up to 2500 mm are being produced.
Siemens PLC and HMi are used, standard valves are
used.
