Packaging and printing manufacturers usually need to inspect for defects after manufacturing is completed. Traditional manual visual inspection is not only time-consuming and inefficient, but also difficult to guarantee the accuracy of defect rate. The industrial computer solution for online detection of packaging bottle defects launched by CHIPLY will greatly solve the problems caused by manual visual inspection, effectively improving production efficiency and product quality.

Here are the customer's configuration requirements for the equipment:

1. The industrial computer software interface has a resolution of 1920 * 1080 and requires a high-resolution screen

2. High storage, high testing accuracy, stable operation, and strong technical support

3. Basically consistent with the device tablet/4, the frame needs to be waterproof and dustproof

4. Support glove touch

Solution

The design of packaging automatic inspection equipment is based on meeting the basic requirements of users for inspection equipment. The automatic detection equipment consists of a light source, a camera, an image processing system, a defective product removal device, and an industrial computer. The camera records the characteristics of each item and determines whether it is qualified through image processing. Unqualified items will be removed.

Working principle of intelligent detection

1. The packaging bottle passes through a positioning sensor and detects the arrival of the item. The control unit records the item identification number and the current encoder signal.   

2. The positioning sensor notifies the camera to capture images of the current item. After the photo is taken, the image is processed by the image processor, which transmits the processing results to the human-machine interface for dynamic display and to the detection control unit.

3. The detection and control unit is divided into four modules - bottle cap detection module, liquid level detection module, spray code detection module, and label detection module. It uses LED light source combined with advanced strobe control technology and adopts a dedicated embedded image processing system to process the continuously collected images in real time. After processing the images, the processing results are sent to the control unit to promptly remove non-conforming products.   

4. After receiving the unqualified signal, the eliminator immediately eliminates the items with the corresponding identification number.

Customer reviews

In the past, the work method relied on manual inspection of product flatness and manual packaging, which increased the company's labor costs significantly, had low work efficiency, and had quality hazards. It was easy for defective products to mix into good products, causing subsequent defects and increasing the consumption of defective products. In addition, manual inspection was also prone to secondary damage, increasing the defect rate. The combination of automatic packaging inspection equipment and industrial computers can promote the overall improvement of packaging equipment, and develop multifunctional, high-efficiency, and low consumption packaging equipment.
