Station
Single-camera vision station.
One camera and its light over the conveyor, a pass/fail decision on every product, and a reject that takes the bad one off the line. Most lines start here: one fault, visible from one side, caught on every pack.
Key specifications
- Cameras
- One camera with its light, on a frame over the conveyor.
- Views covered
- One side of the product, usually straight down.
- Typical checks
- Fill level, seals, presence and count, foreign material on the surface, caps, print, carton flaps, desiccant and cotton.
- Decision
- Pass or fail on every unit, in motion.
- Output
- The failed unit is taken off the line, or the line holds. Picture, reason, and time are saved with the lot.
