                Crates Crates can be inspected in all different sizes and colours

                 

                Crate Inspection 

                When beer and soft drink crates return to the brewery they are emptied and washed. To ensure that crates are fit for reuse, an inspection system can be installed after washing, checking for  deformation, foreign debris, logos etc.

                • High speed operation with reliable results
                • Easy to set up and teach functions for new crates
                • Low maintenance and cleaning demands
                • Operates on all sizes and logos
                • Statistics showing trends and performance

                Box Inspection 

                After the boxes are filled and closed, the final packaged product must be inspected. Damaged or incorrectly closed boxes are not sellable. The vision system works according to general rules. All edges should be straight and parallel, and no parts are allowed to protrude from the box.

                • Flexible, compact and portable design
                • Easy to set up
                • Operates on all sizes and decorations
                • No adjustments necessary when changing products
                • Statistics showing trends and performance of packaging

                Print Control 

                Any print must be placed accurately, with sufficient contrast, complete and readable. This is true for any indsustry. This vision system inspects prints immediately after production. If any discrepancies are detected, the system can activate a reject mechanism. Statistical data is gathered and enables
                operators as to follow any developing deficiency of the print.

                • Precise color drift inspection
                • OCR/OCV and evaluation of overall print quality
                • Pattern recognition of images
                • Flexible recognition rules
                • Line scan or matrix camera applications

                 
                     

                Plastic Sealing

                A vision system for inspection of plastic sealings. Packages that needs vacuum formed containers can be inspected in order to detect defective welding and foreign objects in the seam. When a defective package is found, a signal is can be provide to a reject mechanism.

                • Can be installed on existing equipment
                • Single camera operation
                • Internet connectivity
                • Fast continuous operation

                Aluminium Foil

                Pressing aluminium foil objects can result in an array of faults such as holes, wrinkles and shape-faults. This vision system inspects objects with high resolution cameras immediately after having been pressed, and is capable of rejecting defective objects automatically.

                • High speed operation
                • Comprehensive production statistics generated to monitor performance

                Metal Cans

                When producing cans and lids, it is important to inspect for damaged seal compound. The overall shape is measured, the compound is investigated, and any missing or discoloured compound is detected. The surface is checked for contamination or foreign bodies.

                • Check seal and surface quality of lids and cans
                • High speed operation
                • Comprehensive production statistics generated to monitor

                Pack 6Labels on bottles

                Labels

                When labelling, it is necessary to inspect the final product. Labelling machines cannot operate fault free and therefore extensive manual inspection is often associated with this operation. An inspection system can detect the exact location and orientation of the labels. Any drift in alignment and the bottle is rejected.

                 

                 • Manual inspection is eliminated
                • Fast and reliable results and trends
                • Detects drift in positioning compared to a reference point e.g. an eyebrow
                • Stand alone unit ready for conveyor installation
                • Automatic rejection of defective labels
