Inspection system for the pharmaceutical industry SPECTRA Japan Quality

high-speed

The blister inspection SPECTRA Japan Quality offers the highest image resolutions for high-speed evaluation. This makes it the optimal system for high demands such as those of the Japanese pharmaceutical market, which requires visually flawless products due to cultural conditions, as consumers perceive external minimal defects as serious reasons for rejection. The colour system continuously distinguishes 16 million colours even in three-shift operation at high-speed. For Japan Quality Product Inspection, a water-cooling system is employed to keep the cameras at optimum temperature. Offering the same resolution at high speed, this enables the detection of minimal flaws and tiny defects. ■Inspection Criteria and Objects Inspection objects: Tablets Oblongs Dragees Hard and soft gelatine capsules Special forms Sealed products Examination criteria: Smallest contaminants such as e.g. Painting defects particles on the tablet or lacquer Surface defects Additional examination criteria: Colour Presence Size Shape Position Circumference Fragments Overfill Serial defects ■Advantages of the Japan Quality Application Hardware and software are selected with the demands of the Japanese market in mind. Japanese goods in general are subject to very high standards of uniformity and standardisation. The consumer’s critical eye, thus sharpened, also questions the correctness of the processes and thus the product as such in the case of external flaws. Thus, the appearance of the product becomes just as decisive a criterion for producers for the Japanese market as harmlessness and efficacy.
