Vision Inspection System Uses AI to Increase Accuracy
Acquire Automation’s (acquireautomation.com) new Q Series CapQ vision inspection system features 360-degree inspection of capped beverage and consumer good containers. The system inspects for cap height, cap skew and raised or missing cap, and integrity of the tamper-evident band. It also confirms that the correct color cap is on the packaged product while simultaneously inspecting for fill level. The CapQ system has a stainless steel Nema 4X/IP65 enclosure. The inspection unit fits over an existing conveyor and, along with its height adjustability feature, ensures easy integration into existing production lines.
Machine vision of caps and bottle fill levels prevents defective and potentially brand-damaging products from reaching the public. Inspection of 100 percent of products also detects errors early, allowing quick correction, minimizing quantities of product that are rejected.
