    • for US & Canadian customers, International please contact your local Canty Representative for pricing.
  • This questionnaire contains five sections (A-E).
    Although you may choose to omit some answers, all five sections must be completed in some form.

Part A: Contact Information
Contact Name:
Email Address:

Company Name:
Contact Address:
Shipping Address:
Billing Address:
Phone Number:
Fax Number:
Customer PO:


Part B: Sample Tracking Information
Sample Name:
Sample Tracking Number:
*** If you don't have a Canty tracking number one will be

emailed to you after the submission of this questionnaire.

Customer Sample RMA#:
*** The Customer Sample RMA# is used to send sample back to customer once

sample testing has concluded.


Part C: Procedure
Customer Place the sample material's in suitable container's) for shipment to Canty and call Canty for a sample tracking number. Customer must ship in an appropriate DOT container and is responsible for local and Federal regulations, compliance and disclosures. For materials that cannot be shipped rental equipment can be supplied and is recommended in these cases. Use as many containers as necessary for proper analysis of particles. Include sample preparation instructions if appropriate.
CANTY After analysis of sample is completed, we will return the results in the form of a written report with graphical illustration of measurement results. The report will identify the procedure we used to arrive at our results and show the particle size distribution and typical pictures of the sample. The sample will then be held for two weeks and after that time will be returned to the customer unless Canty is notified by the company that it needs to be retained for further testing.
All samples must arrive with MSDS, Canty sample tracking number, and completed questionnaire. All samples will be returned after analysis.


Part D: Questionnaire
(1) Is the sample material hazardous?
Yes       No

What precautions should be taken?
Please Explain:
(2) What is the average size of the particle?
(3) Range of particle size?
(4) Do the particles have consistent characteristics (shape, size, color, etc.) ?
(5) Are the particles abrasive or do the particles cling to each other and the container?
(6) Present/Previous measurement technique?
(7) What type of repeatability do you presently have?
(8) Please enclose a typical data set or readout for each of the samples you have sent us. It is imperative that the actual data for the samples submitted is provided to us.
If you have graphs, please email them (sales@jmcanty.com) or fax them to (716) 625-4228 (US).


Part E: Information About the Process
Please include pictures, images, diagrams, and graphs when appropriate.
(9) Desired output from the CANTY Vector?
(a) Particle Size Distribution
Yes       No
(b) Area (where applicable)
Yes       No
(c) Width (where applicable)
Yes       No
(d) Length
Yes       No
(e) Aspect Ratio (where applicable)
Yes       No
(f) Mean Size
Yes       No
(g) Opacity
Yes       No
(g) Turbidity
Yes       No
(h) Color Analysis
Yes       No

Please provide information on the colors you need identified and what you require for each color. (Particle size distribution, Difference in color from standard, etc.)
(i) Black Speck Detection
Yes       No

Please provide information on what constitutes an "undesirable" characteristic in your sample and how much/how concentrated this characteristic needs to be in order to trigger a detection in your present analysis technique. It is essential that you provide us with a sample that has recognizable "clean" portions as well as an identified example of the undesirable characteristic. Send two separate samples if necessary.
(k) Other - Please Explain:
(10) What is the goal of your product analysis? What level of inspection do you need?
Is a random sampling that provides refkectuve data about the product sufficient?
(11) What type of reproducibility do you require?
(12) How are particles going to travel by the camera (open conveyor, closed pipe air transport, liquid suspension, etc.) ?
(13) Are you interested in...
an Inline System
a Lab Setup
*** If interested in an inline system, please send a sketch of particular setup and anticipated use of the vision system (QC, Automated Process Control, etc.)
(14) How often do you need the data updated (seconds, minutes, hours) ?
(15) What type of output do you require (Graph, QC Data Archive, System Control Parameter, etc.) ?
(16) What type of flow rate do you desire at the inspection point (lbs/time, liters/time, pieces/time, etc.) ?
(17) Are there any portions of the sample that are relatively unimportant and could be ignored to increase the effectiveness in analyzing characteristics critical to your process as well as rate of analysis (eg. Fines may be present, but insignificant to analysis) ?
