RMI – Functional Description

1. Pellets flow down, in free fall into the system and get spread out using the hopper which creates a “curtain” of pellets.
2. One to 10 cameras are used to detect the falling pellets and send data to the computer via the microcontroller.
3. The RMI application which is installed on the computer detects pellets that are outside of the acceptable size, color and deformation range and defines them as faulty according to the predetermined standard.
4. If a pellet is considered faulty, the nozzle closest to the pellet is activated by the microcontroller and the pellet is ejected from the machine. The associated LED is lit.
   Alternatively, the diverter opens for at least half a second to eject more material.
