ROFIS - Robotic Fiber Sampling

No ACF gallery field data found

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Sampling viscose fibres manually is often labour-intensive and prone to inconsistencies, which can impact the accuracy of quality assessments. The ROFIS/ROFIT series offers automated sampling solutions that collect precise, repeatable fibre samples several times per minute, reducing operator involvement and improving statistical reliability. Available versions of the sampling robot also incorporate whiteness and moisture measurements, allowing for real-time process adjustments during bleaching and drying. Installed directly above the baling press at the filling chamber, these sampling robots support streamlined and objective quality control.

SAMPLING METHOD

ROFIS enables automatic and controlled sampling of staple fibers from the filling chamber of the baling press. In the filling chamber above the baling press, a horizontally moving grabber grabs fibers of a defined sample size. A sample is collected at a frequence of up to six times per minute. The collected fiber sample is released via a sample outlet. Further handling by the customer could mean presenting a plastic bag to the fiber sampling chamber for proper packaging. Alternatively, the collected samples can be dropped into a fall tube down to the baling press level.

BENEFITS

  • Objective sampling
    No operator influence means objective sampling without any human influence on the sampling procedure. Additionally, the collected samples represent the daily production of quality correctly, i.e. ROFIS enables higher statistical validity of the sampling procedure.
  • Time saving
    The automatic sampling procedure leaves the operator free capacities for other tasks.
  • Integrated quality measurements
    Optional whiteness and moisture sensors enable automatic process control by providing real-time data for bleaching and drying sections.
  • Pneumatic technology for precise sampling
    Controlled sample collection with pneumatic operation guarantees accurate, contamination-free sampling directly from the filling chamber
