Patent number: 6462820Abstract: A moving fabric web vision inspection system. The apparatus includes at least two electronic cameras on one side of the moving fabric web for measuring the light intensity of a predetermined area of the moving fabric web. A high frequency, backlight, contrast panel on the other side of the moving fabric web provides reference point for the cameras to detect a defect. A controller connected to each of the electronic cameras generates a stop signal if the light intensity of the predetermined area of the moving fabric web deviates from a predetermined value. The predetermined value corresponds to a detected defect in the moving fabric web. Finally, a repair station downstream from the cameras allows an operator to repair a defect detected by the vision inspection system.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2001Date of Patent: October 8, 2002Assignee: Sara Lee CorporationInventors: Edmund L. Pace, Glenn R. Pierce, John R. Everhart, David L. Kamp, Jimmy F. Plyler, Dennis Starnes, James Moore Schenck, George S. Noonkester

Patent number: 6101691Abstract: A fabric roll letoff for unrolling and inspecting a fabric roll. The apparatus includes: a continuous belt for supporting the fabric roll. A drive system for rotates the belt to letoff the fabric web. The drive system includes a drive roller; a idle roller; and a tension roller. The continuous belt rotates the fabric roll to unroll the fabric web at a constant velocity for subsequent processing. In the preferred embodiment, a pair of unloader arms is connected to the belt drive for receiving the fabric roll and for positioning the fabric roll onto the belt drive. Also, in the preferred embodiment, a guide frame is positioned downstream from the belt drive for directing the fabric web through an inspection area.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1999Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: Sara Lee CorporationInventors: Edmund L. Pace, Glenn R. Pierce, John R. Everhart, James Moore Schenck, David L. Kamp, Jimmy L. Plyler, John J. Frye, Dennis Starnes, George S. Noonkester
