vision inspection system
The rejection mechanism is an auxiliary device that is mainly used to reject NG products.
1.2 Pallet Feeding Mechanism
The feeding of the machine is human load on pallet. Picture 1-2 is a pallet feeding mechanism. Through human load on pallet, the servo module feeds, pallet on the left do the inspection, then pallet on the right will be unload, and feed again on the right pallet, so as to achieve alternating feeding inspection.
1.3 Image Acquisition Mechanism
Picture 1-3 is the image acquisition mechanism. When products on the pallet are moved by servo module to specific position for image acquisition, the camera will be triggered to capture images by different light sources. The image-captured data will be transferred to upside software system and do the processing with results, which will be transmitted to downside Plc control servo Z module with a suction nozzle to sort the OK and NG products.
1.4 Downside Control System
Picture 1-4 shows the downside control system with relevant devices, including Plc controller, servo motor drive, host, power, servo motor, etc.
As shown on the picture, in the adjustment procedure, the whole system deliver relevant signal from upside control system to the down side Plc, so as to adjust accordingly to the servo module motion ( motion position quantity and position, image capture position, running speed, running time, NG position shift).
In the course of system running, pressing start button on downside left and right, the plc will receive the start signal and control the servo module motion. When the module move to position for camera image capturing, the plc send capturing signals to image processing system, which sends the electric signal and controls multiple light sources and lights up them one by one. After inspection result is defined, it will be transferred to downside plc. After finishing inspection for one side pallet and getting the NG information, the system controls module and rejects NG products by a cylinder control.
Above mentioned is a brief introduction of our current servo pallet inspection machine on structure and process aspects.

Annandale, Virginia (webnewswire) August 29, 2019 – Dirt Connections, a Virginia pool removal contractor, recently released a detailed list of common swimming pool problems. While some homeowners may feel that their pool is a worthwhile investment, others are finding the maintenance of their pool costly and difficult.
Homeowners who have a pool often find that they are constantly running into problems while owning a pool. In response to this, Dirt Connections compiled a list of common complaints that pool owners often have and discusses why and how these problems should be addressed. The complaints fall under the cost, safety, and maintenance issues. Making sure the pool is properly cleaned is a very tedious process that requires high attention to detail. Ensuring algae build up is prevented is also a strenuous task. Safety poses an issue with drowning hazards if there are kids, small pets, and visitors involved. Pool owners do not want to be held responsible in case an issue arises at their pool. The list may go on, however, it is essential to be informed on the potential issues owning a pool will bring. Choosing to remove your pool is an option to consider. Avoiding these problems will save time and money. It will also give peace of mind that everyone in your household is safe.
If you choose to remove your pool, it must be drained and filled with fill dirt, which creates a stronger seal and foundation for future projects than any other type of dirt.

Taste current releases as well as library wines, and even sample some of our young wines still aging in oak barrels.
2017 Chardonnay Spring Mountain District
Keenan’s 2017 Chardonnay was hand harvested, de-stemmed, then gently pressed. The juice was fermented and aged in French and American oak barrels. The wine was left on the lees and the barrels were stirred weekly. No secondary, or malolactic fermentation was carried out, leading to the crisp, citrus character of this wine. The wine was bottled after approximately seven months of aging in the cellar.
The finished wine shows citrus, ripe pear and green apple in the nose. Hints of lush white peach are noticed as the wine opens up. The sur-lie aging has added richness and complexity, and a touch of toasty oak returns on the finish. Like all of Keenan’s wines, this Chardonnay is a food worthy wine whose crisp acidity and medium body will accompany a wide variety of cuisine.
2015 Merlot Napa Valley
The 2015 Keenan Merlot is composed primarily of Keenan Estate Merlot. Thirty two percent of the wine is Merlot fruit harvested from the Napa Carneros region. After hand harvesting, the grapes were de-stemmed, then inoculated with Montrachet yeast. Fermentation ranged from ten to fourteen days. The ‘15 Merlot has been aged inthirty-three percent new French and American oak barrels for eighteen months. The resulting wine shows intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and cassis.
Complex nuances of cocoa and coffee bean emerge as the wine opens up. This is a “big” Merlot that will age for many years to come.
2015 Zinfandel Napa Valley
Keenan’s 2015 Zinfandel is made up of grapes grown primarily on Keenan’s Spring Mountain District estate. The Estate Zinfandel imparts structure, ripe black fruit and complex earthy nuances. Zinfandel grown in Calistoga makes up the remainder of the blend and supplies spice and briary red fruit aromas.
The finished wine shows intense black cherry and raspberry fruit in the nose, while hints of black pep- per and vanilla add complexity. This is a rich, full-bodied Zinfandel that will accompany a wide array of foods, but we suggest gamey meats, grilled as a great match for the Keenan Zin.
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed primarily of grapes grown on Keenan’s Spring Mountain District Estate; the remainder of the fruit was harvested from Pope Valley, a grape growing region located in the eastern portion of Napa.
The blend was assembled just before bottling. The Estate grown Cabernet imparts amazing concen- tration and remarkable structure, while the portion of Cabernet harvested from Pope Valley adds complex aromas and a balanced mid-palate.
