Do you inspect cans, bottles - anything cylindrical?

 

Imagine inspecting the entire cylindrical surface of bottles and cans, vials, or cosmetic containers without the need for orientation or accurate positioning. This seemingly impossible capability is what OmniView technology from Cognex provides!

OmniView uses 4 cameras to obtain a 3600 view of all features on the entire surface so vision tools can be applied to read barcodes, verify text, inspect graphics and measure features at speeds of up to 1,200 parts/min.  

 

Obtaining such an image without OmniView requires stopping the line and rotating each cylindrical object in front of a line scan camera, a process that is just too slow for modern production.  And by eliminating the complex and expensive equipment needed with a line scan camera, you can dramatically lower cost, reduce complexity and boost throughput!

OmniView ensures product quality and package integrity by:

  • Reading 1D barcodes and 2D matrix codes
  • Checking for date code presence
  • Detecting damaged products
  • Checking for torn or missing labels
  • Confirming package and product match
  • Verifying required allergen statements
  • Assessing print quality
  •  Inspecting package graphics

 

Product Quality, Safety & Package Integrity

Whether for allergen management, assembly verification, quality control or track and trace, Cognex offers extensive application experience and the widest selection of machine vision products for inspection applications in the Food and Beverage industry.
