Key Technology's automated optical inspection systems provide processors with the most highly advanced sorting and quality control technology available today. This level of optical inspection, defect removal and monitoring power allows processors to improve product quality, increase productivity and seize a competitive advantage.

Key's G6 electro-optical vision platform is the brain and eyes inside every Optyx® and Tegra® optical sorting system. G6 takes defect and foreign material detection a step further. It allows you to replace only specific modules as new technologies arrive—not your entire sorter. This ensured migration path to the future extends and maximizes your long-term sorter ROI for new and existing machines.

Optyx® and Tegra® optical inspection systems all recognize defects by color, shape and size. G6 standardizes modules and sorting capabilities across both lines for the industry's best migration path to the future...without exception.

Features

Vision Power—Advanced color, mono and Vis/IR cameras capture up to 8,000 scans per second, targeting even smaller defects faster.
Brain Power—G6 Image Processors (IP) do with one chip what once took an entire electronics rack.
Expansion Power—The G6 Digital Signal Processing CPU is designed with extra capacity for executing sorting algorithms—with Pentium® muscle and FireWire® connectivity ensuring secure, upscalable performance for years to come.
Virtual Power—Control from the sorter, your desktop, or the other side of the world with simple, easy-to-use menus and icons.
Uptime Power—Real-time and on-demand self-diagnostics minimize downtime.
Future Power—Easily programmable, modular controller enables future flexibility to move with your needs.

Optyx® On-Belt Sorters

Optyx® 3000 Series

Just over one meter wide (42 inches), this compact, economical sorter brings G6 enabling power to lower-volume assignments and crowded plant floors. Its smaller price tag and footprint make it ideal for recovering usable rejects from other sorter lines for optimum yield.

Optyx® 6000 Series

Optyx® 6000 offers multiple configurations optimized to meet your specific application needs. Capable of impressive throughput in a modest footprint, it ensures precise defect removal in a range of applications

Raptor Laser Technology,

In combination with Key's industry-leading cameras, works inside Optyx® 3000 Series and Optyx® 6000 Series sorters to attack product defects and foreign material such as glass, rocks, insects and other debris.

Consider Optyx® when:

360° inspection is not critical
Product is stable/not liable to roll
Product has poor trajectory characteristics
Quality monitoring is required
Laser technology is required or adds value

Tegra® In-Air Sorters

Tegra® Half-Wide and Full-Wide

Recognized as the industry's most accurate in-air defect removal system, Tegra® is Key's highest capacity optical sorter. G6 technology simply makes it even faster, more powerful, and future-ready.
Tegra® uniformly launches product from non-damaging, gravitational C-Belt® conveyors for 360° inspection. Up to four high-performance Camera Link compliant cameras give unobstructed views of every surface.

Consider Tegra® when:

Product needs to be viewed from all angles
Product is difficult to stabilize for on-belt sorters
Product shape would create substantial shadows on a belt
Product could stain belt background
