During production and packaging, a large number of companies use high-speed machines which execute a large number of short, repetitive movements.
During such fast cycles different types of malfunctioning can occur. The result: a part of the produced goods is not suitable for use or sale. Such malfunction may even jam the entire production line, requiring it to be stopped temporarily. In both cases, the company loses profit.
But that is not all! A cycle could also operate below its optimal level. As a consequence to its inaccurate execution, some operations need to be corrected in the next cycle. This often involves the loss of tenths of a second per unit. But considering the large production volumes and the repetition of this non-optimal action, this will result in quite a significant economic loss.
Today the current method to conduct malfunction analyses is largely based on ‘trial and error’, which is far from ideal. Indeed, the problem is more or less solved, but the cause remains unknown.
A perfect solution for the malfunction can be found when it can be filmed in slow-motion. So allowing to study the problem carefully. Although high speed cameras are available on the market, they are not extremely efficient. With the sole exception of Cyclocam!
