minute, during their transport from the cooling chamber to the clean room, where the Counter Stacker Thermoformer is also installed.<\/p><p>The control system was placed at a critical point in the line, before the stacking process, with the aim of maximum possible reliability in control and the timely detection of any deviating tortilla. This need is particularly high, as the Counter Stacker and the automatic loading system (Robot Loading System) require the tortillas to be perfectly separated, flat and of the correct diameter, in order to form stable stacks.<\/p><p><strong>The inspection is performed in two product distribution patterns:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>8-inch tortillas in 5 rows of 24 pieces per press (5x5 pattern with a gap in the center)<\/li><li>10-inch tortillas in 4 rows of 16 pieces per press (4x4 pattern)<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>The inspection system checks each tortilla for the following characteristics:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Maximum and minimum diameter<\/li><li>Folds (folded tortillas)<\/li><li>Overlaps between pieces<\/li><li>Holes and surface imperfections<\/li><li>Irregularities
