INNOVATIVE OPTOMECHATRONIC TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Construction and Maintenance - Year 2018, Vol 110, Issue 3
Abstract
The manufacturing of production machinery for the tobacco industry is an area in which particularly intensive research and development works are carried out aimed at increasing the quality of products in accordance to the zero-fault policy, while ensuring high production efficiency. Achieving the highest process parameters is possible thanks to innovative optomechatronic technologies. The review of selected key achievements in the field of optomechatronic technologies and our own achievements presented in the article include methods and inspection systems used for quality inspection in the tobacco industry, as well as other industries where similar or analogous problems of detecting and identifying product defects occur. As examples of the authors’ research and implementation achievements presented are advanced optomechatronic systems for the inspection of tobacco semi-finished products. Cognitive problems and technical barriers as well as methods of solving them are presented. The developed systems meet the highest requirements in terms of accuracy and speed of measurements. Their qualities were confirmed during tests in industrial conditions.The summary presents the main trends in the implementation of innovative optomechatronic technologies for the inspection of products in mass production in the tobacco industry and other areas of the economy, as well as the directions of further research and development carried out by the authors.
