摘要 |
Direction of material emitted from orifices is directly related to the effectiveness of spray devices to deliver the material to an intended location area. Improper emission direction results in material, such as medication, paint, or fuel, not reaching its intended target and causes cascading effects, such as improper patient dosing, compromised patient relief, waste, poor target coverage, missed target penetration, poor engine performance, and other safety/performance problems. An apparatus for inspecting operation of an orifice according to an example embodiment measures actual material emission direction relative to an expected material emission direction determined as a function of position and orientation of an orifice. The apparatus may confirm whether the emission direction is within an expected emission direction and accepted tolerance range. Through use of the apparatus, accurate screening of production products can be performed efficiently and manufacturing defects can be diagnosed and eliminated. |
