Machine Vision for Plastic Lid Inspection

The JLI Plastic Lid Inspection System is a compact and portable stand-alone unit. The system is 2. generation and has been developed to meet the high demands of the pharmaceutical industry with regard to quality and validation.

The system can be used for any type of plastic lid production, including injection blow moulding, and employs two high-resolution industrial area scan cameras and stabilized LED long-life light sources.

By using specially designed mirrors and lenses the system is capable of inspecting an entire plastic lid on both the inside and the outside using only two cameras. Being a portable unit the inspection system can be used for 100% online inspection as well as an offline sampling unit adding flexibility to your production.

All lids are inspected for dimensional defects, visual imperfections, fins caused by extra material, and unfinished products. Through the user interface, the sensitivity and different setups can be selected. This is easily done through a touch panel. When defects exceed a selected tolerance, a signal is timed and sent to the built-in reject mechanism. On request, the system can create production/batch reports.
