Optical Scanning for Industry Applications - Call for Expressions of Interest

In July 2006 (3rd, 4th, 6th & 7th July), Rheology Solutions in conjunction with Optical Control Systems (OCS) are planning to run a series free half day application based demonstrations and workshops using fully operational equipment: Powder Tester - PT2C, Pellet Scanner - PS25C, Pellet Size Shape Distribution - PSSD, and Wide Web Film Inspection System - FSP600.

The equipment for the workshops is a selection from the OCS product range and will provide attendees with the opportunity to optically assess powders, pellets and finished film products.

Attendees are invited to bring their own product for testing and evaluation at the workshop. Prior discussion and completion of a sample testing form and supply of MSDS for each sample will be required. The workshops can be public or private (company specific) and each session will be tailored to meet the objectives of the participants.

The workshop will provide suppliers and manufacturers of powder, pellets or film with the ability to:
• Run and test samples
• Evaluate equipment and instruments
• Update themselves on the state of the art optical technologies
• Review equipment for purchase or plan for future budgets
• Identify the best optical solution specific to their application or products
• Compare results from current inspection methods to optical scanning technology
• Justify investment in equipment - instrument purchase
• Identify new or improved QA or On-Line procedures and techniques
• Isolate defects and impurities to improve process and reduce rejects

The OCS optical scanning equipment is suitable to test:
• all free flowing powders across polymer, pharmaceutical and food industries
• all pellets either natural or pigmented
• all transparent and opaque film

This free workshop will be of interest to masterbatch suppliers, manufacturers, polymer manufacturers, film manufacturers, raw material suppliers, and packaging manufacturers who are involved in food, pharmaceutical and the polymer industries.

The workshop will focus on running the equipment and customer applications and is planned to run for half a day at the laboratory facility and training area of Rheology Solutions. Each workshop will be limited to 4 to 8 participants. The workshop would run over the course of 4 working days in July 2006.
