MATERIAL CONTROL COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N3/46 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to facilities of comparative evaluation (control) of physical-mechanical and operating properties of materials, in particular, may be used for instrumental materials. The complex comprises a plant for the realisation of a pendulum scribing by means of the insertion of an indenter, a control system interacting with the specified plant, with a device of source data base input, with a positioner, and also comprises accumulating areas and a transport system of the supply and positioning of samples relative to the specified plant and positioner. The pendulum scribing plant is equipped with a video system of pendulum scribing trace observation, making it possible to digitise the trace, and the control system is arranged with the possibility of processing and analysis of the digitised image of the trace, with the provision of the possibility to accept the subsequent decision to send a command to the positioner to move the sample depending on the results of the analysis either into rejection or for storage at the warehouse, or for shipping to a receiver, or for other purposes.

EFFECT: expansion of capabilities (functions) of pendulum scribing, which includes the possibility to automate the process of making a control decision, and thus to avoid an impact of a human factor, to increase the efficiency of quality assessment, to realise sorting and rejection of items.
