Standard Features
The machine operates based on advanced image acquisition and vision processing technology:
- Tray Placement
- The operator places the tray containing vials, ampoules, or cartridges in the designated inspection area.
- Image Acquisition
- A high-resolution industrial camera captures the image of the entire tray in a single frame.
- Illumination System
- A uniform LED lighting system ensures proper illumination, minimizing shadows and enhancing object visibility.
- Vision Processing
- The captured image is processed using advanced algorithms that identify each container based on shape, size, and positional contrast.
- Counting & Verification
- The system counts all detected units and verifies them against preset values (if required), identifying missing or extra positions.
- Result Display
- The final count and inspection status (OK/Not OK) are displayed on the HMI screen.
- Data Storage
- Inspection results, images, and reports can be stored for future reference and audit purposes.
