Integrated Tile sorting
XMS is currently the only automatic selection system that integrates measurements with shade control and defect identification, managing formats up to 600 x
1200 mm in the standard version , or up to
900 x 900 mm in the "wide" version XMS900.
XMS facilitates by means of a single operating console and one single graphic interface, to check both dimension and flatness controls, normally a mechanic's job, and besides aesthetic features, usually performed by selection personnel. Hence tile sorting is easier and work can be streamlined so it best fits the factory policies and the efficiency target.
XMS is based on a "learning" concept; thus it does not require any special skill in computer or mathematics and does not need to set numeric parameters: the user should have an extensive knowledge of ceramic tiles and their specific features.
Learning about and operating the machine is similar to human training; when a new product is sorted the machine is trained by examples with the operator, feeding on eXaSort with first choice tiles while the operator marks any defective tile. This allows
XMS to build its own model of "normality" that it will use later during production, rejecting those tiles that show deviation from what it has learned.
 During production, eXaSort sensitivity levels can be adjusted individually for each specific defect (shade, contamination spots, drops, edge and corner faults, cracks ...) by means of a simple cursor interface.
The same easy-to-use approach, applies to measurement settings (dimension and flatness) and parameter modification
XMS has also a sophisticated alarm management system that allows the operator to customize visible and/or acoustic alarms and belts stoppages based on individual faults such as:
- Size changes
- Geometric or flatness faults
- Shade changes
- Aesthetic defects due to the glazing process
- Surface defects
- Fine/coarse grain variation
- Surface finishing (opacity level )
- Lack of glaze application even with low impact on shade
- Lack of faces on stoneware products
- Aesthetic defects due to double filling processes
