Machine vision increases productivity 2X
Syringe manufacturers need to maintain high levels of quality in order to ensure safety of patients and caregivers while maximizing productivity to deliver their product at a competitive price.

To meet these goals for their customer, AVTEX and the Arthur G. Russell Company (AGR) customized machine vision inspection stations and an enhanced packaging system with VisionPro software.

The system performs a series of inspection operations, such as ensuring the presence and location of components, in as little as 50 milliseconds.

“These machines provide the customer with the ability to produce syringes at a rate of approximately twice the level that was possible in the past,” and with 2x accuracy Mark Granahan, President of AVTEX said. “A key to their success is the use of machine vision systems that operate at the high production rates of the machines while providing 100% inspection that ensures the quality of every unit.”

Machine vision inspection system reduces production costs
In today's automotive injection pumps, fuel is pressed against sealed parts with incredible force at more than 2,000bar/29,000 pounds per square inch. This means that precision is the top priority when it comes to manufacturing sealing rings.

For Hänggi, the renowned manufacturer of stamped parts based in Switzerland, speed and accuracy are
the goals. Working in cooperation with iTECH Engineering AG, the company has now found a
solution which improves parts quality and speeds up production processes.

When inspecting the surface of the sealing rings the system is looking for scratches and contamination. The dimensional check measures the inside and outside diameter of the parts. The new system operates at a nominal test speed of two parts per second, i.e., 7,200 parts/hour and at a testing precision of four thousandths of a millimeter.

Complete image processing uses VisionPro® software from Cognex. This provides for the precise identification of fault characteristics and extremely fast transmission of control pulses for production.
