Typical defects

 

In the list below are presented some of the typical defects on tablets. Machine can detect and sort out a wider list of different defects. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• 360° inspection: Dedicated camera for body inspection capabilities: 3D camera Inspection
• 2D image is hard to check the depth-defect such as engraving error, poor coating on surface.
• 3D image can accurately check the depth-defect by laser scanning.
• Tips inspection: First 2 color cameras focus on the tips to provide dedicated images of the tips and cover 100% of the capsule surface. The software analyzes those high-quality pictures to detect tip defects such as dents, holes, chips, etc.

 

• The third camera (black & white) is dedicated to analysis of body/cap and print (tips excluded).

 

• Consistency of defect detection: Light-reflection free images guarantee total surface inspection and consistency in defect detection: no hidden areas.”

 

• The product is fed into the funnel hopper, from where it passes into the main hopper.

 

• Through the main hopper, it lands on the vibratory feeder.

 

• The vibratory feeder carries the product to the rotary feeder. The vibratory feeder is a linear vibrator, for maintaining consistent speed of the product through its course.

 

• The rotary feeder is Servo operated, thereby ensuring the precise movement of the product.

Inspection solutions for the pharmaceutical industry

The product arrives on conveyor I from the rotary feeder. The conveyor I is designed with an internal vacuum, which holds the product in place. It is Servo operated too, for preciseness of movement of the product along the inspection zone.

 

On conveyor I, the product is inspected by five cameras (C1 – C5), which have been placed strategically to capture its image from top (C1) and all four sides of its edges (C2 – C5).

 

If any defect is perceived, the defective product is discarded through the adjacent rejection point (R1) by pneumatic operation, into an internally provided rejection bin.

 

 

The flawless product is conveyed over by vacuum to conveyor II.

 

On conveyor II, the product is inspected for defects / variation in its lower surface, by the last camera (C6), strategically placed on this conveyor.

 

If any defect is perceived by C6, the defective product is discarded through the adjacent rejection point (R2) by pneumatic operation, into the same rejection bin.

 

Thus, from cameras C1 through C6, the product is subjected to an inspection of 360°.

 

Each camera is provided with its respective image processing control, that enables the processing of the image simultaneously with its capturing, and, feeds the result to the PLC and the main computer. This occurs within a few milliseconds, so that the rejection and passing of the product are done at a very high speed.

 

The passed product is collected into a separate bin, internally provided.

 

Both these bins, the rejection as well as passed, are placed at the discharge end of the machine.

 

Camera System – Tablet Inspection

Top/Bottom :   Double inspection by 3D camera (2 Nos.) & 2D color camera (2 Nos.)

Side :  No blind spot inspection by 2D color camera (6 Nos.)

 

3D camera Inspection

2D image is hard to check the depth-defect such as engraving error, poor coating on surface.
3D image can accurately check the depth-defect by laser scanning.

Camera System – Capsule

Cylinder  : Make one combined image from 2D color camera (6 Nos.) by special algorithm.

Corner  : No blind spot inspection by 2D color camera (4 Nos.).

Powder Volume

IR camera (1 No.) scans through inside of capsule, calculates the powder volume percent (%)
(Able to inspect the black color capsule)
