- Pharmaceutical,
Healthcare & Medical Devices
Machine Vision Inspection
|
The
total need for quality within the pharmaceutical, medical
device and healthcare industries means machine vision
inspection solutions are used extensively. Our installed
applications range from a single vision system for label
inspection and to check batch code and expiry date,
to a completely automated, turnkey machine vision product
cell for inspection of vial stoppers. As machine vision
inspection solutions consultants, we have supplied machine
vision inspection solutions to inspect the assembly
of hypodermic syringes and needles. Other applications
include seal inspection, checking for contamination
and volume measurement.

- Connector & Electronics
Machine Vision Inspection
|
| The
electronics industry makes substantial use of camera
systems for machine vision inspection. Semi conductors
can be checked for correct marks and damaged leads.
Electronic connectors need to be checked for damaged
pins or moulding short shots. Nearly all the major connector
manufacturers use PPT Vision systems for this purpose. |
|
- Automotive Machine
Vision Inspection
|
Uses
of machine vision in automotive applications range from
robot guidance e.g. for windscreen alignment, automatic
inspection of headlamp beam pattern, seal inspection
on pressed parts such as bead inspection on car doors.
At the other end of the scale machine vision is used
for sub assemblies such as water pumps, headlamp bulbs
and seat belt mechanisms. Auto ID of engine blocks,
crank cases etc using OCR or data matrix coding is yet
another use of machine vision systems for quality checking.

| PPT
machine vision inspection systems are installed throughout
the world on hundreds of high-speed stamping presses
such as Bruderer AG. |
|
- Food
and Beverages Machine Vision Inspection
|
Food
manufacture is also an area where major use is made
of machine vision inspection Food and drink producers
require 100% quality and machine vision inspection
systems are used extensively to inspect food and beverage
cans for verifying seal integrity in food cans and
other packaging, locating foreign bodies in cans, checking
fill levels. Integrity and size of biscuits, confectionery,
we even have a large number of systems checking spring
rolls.
|
|
- Moulded
Plastic & Rubber Machine Vision Inspection
|
Defects in moulded plastic
parts can be very difficult and expensive to find by
hand, but automatically checking for short shots, flash,
flow lines, scratches, contamination, gas bubbles and
inclusions can often be achieved with the right application
of machine vision.
|
|
- Packaging
Machine Vision Inspection
|
Packaging applications
include checking labels for presence, position and skew;
verifying lot code and expiry date using optical character
recognition, OCR or optical character verification,
OCV; checking presence and seating of lids or caps on
bottles. Counting correct number of items in a set or
batch. Barcode and 2d, data matrix code reading.
|
|
- Robotic
Guidance and Positioning using Machine Vision
|
Machine vision may be
used for robotic guidance if the part to be selected
is not in a precise, known position or of unknown orientation.
The PPT machine vision systems can detect orientation,
locate features of the object and feed back precise
information to the robotic guidance controller via
digital I/O, Ethernet or serial ports.
