SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING SHEET INTERLEAVING MATERIAL

摘要

Embodiments provide for analyzing interleaving material applied to sheets of material traveling along a conveyor (30, 42, 50). A system is provided that includes a cross - conveyor support frame (54) and a camera system (52) to capture images of the interleaving material upon the sheets. The camera system (52) may optionally include a movable camera head that travels along the support frame (54) to capture images at multiple positions along substantially the entire width of the conveyor. A control module is provided that includes a processor programmed with instructions for analyzing the interleaving material based on the images. In some cases the analyzing includes receiving the images of the interleaving material from the camera system (52), assessing coverage of the interleaving material upon the sheets of material from the images, determining adjustments for application of the interleaving material based on the assessed coverage, and/or communicating the adjustments to an interleaving material applicator (44).
