Meeting difficult production requirements
|
Packaging flexibility, food safety, productivity, and quality control...they are on the mind of every manufacturing engineer and manager. Achieving tough goals in those areas requires machine vision and industrial ID reader.

|
For Packaging Inspection, Cognex helps in the areas such as: - checking for torn or missing labels, locating and inspecting distorted or curved products
- verifying label printing integrity
- achieving traceability via codes
- checking date code presence
- detecting damanged products
- verifying safety seals presence, and many more...

For Product Quality: - maintaining correct product shape/size
- checking for compleness of each product
- checking for debris assures that no foreign objects are in a product
- detecting missing items in the assembly verification
- checking fill labels ensures uniform product quantities, and is vital to the fill & seal process
- verifying product matches ensures a product has the correct package and ID code

Case study - Checking bottle quality
|
When a US-based Meridian Beverage Co.'s new high-tech bottling line needed fill-and-cap verification, they chose Cognex's Checker®., an inspection sensor uses patterns to detect and inspect bottles and caps at speeds of 375 per minute.
|
|
Checker® identifies defective bottles and then triggers the rejection station to kick defective bottles off of the line. Checker® also inspects for incorrectly placed caps, proper placement of tamper evident safety rings, spaces between the cap and safety ring, appropriate fill levels, and other problems that can occur out of sight or under the caps.
Benefits: The company has achieved time efficient and ensuring free error results (thus, reduced equipment costs by 20%). The inspection was with a click of a button, the sensor captures images of passed and failed parts (enable the user to see what is or is not functioning properly) - this was much easier and simpler than before.
