Automatic inspection system

for the pharmaceutical industryfor folding boxesbundle

The CAPA Bundle station inspects folding boxes that have been combined into a bundle. An inspection of individual folding boxes is also possible. SIGNUM Print area scan cameras are used for bundle inspection, inspecting 1D and 2D codes for readability and bundle completeness. The IMPERA line management system handles the smooth exchange of data. Print inspection The print is inspected by area scan cameras with integrated illumination. The method used for reading characters and codes was developed by scanware, is feature-based and optimised for high reading performance. Constant evaluation results independent of the number of character patterns taught in. All common codes such as GS1 are integrated. Line connection and data exchange Visualisation takes place on the scanware GUI. When integrated into an existing line, linking with upstream and downstream machines is of course possible. The handling of read data can be done by the scanware data handler IMPERA. This is fully capable of serialisation and, in addition to serialisation and aggregation, also offers modules for importing and exporting data as well as rework. ■Inspection Criteria and Objects Examination criteria: Readability of 1D and 2D codes, e.g. Code 128 and DataMatrix. Completeness of the bundles ■Advantages of the Bundle Inspection Different control positions possible (top, front and back) High camera resolution for optimal results Common user interface, comprehensible menu navigation and convenient data entry Suitable for serialisation in conjunction with additional components Aggregation possible IMPERA Line Management system provides for efficient data exchange Precise bundle handling
