Syringe & needle inspection
Application Syringes, Cannulas and Vials
Syringes are inspected at a full 360° to check for possible incorrect cap placements or bent needles. TC CAGE lenses allow to obtain four orthonormal views in a single image that is then processed by a dedicated vision software.

360° label inspection on pharmaceutical bottles
The customer was asked by a pharmaceutical company to develop an inline vision system to verify labels on small plastic bottles at a rate of 60 ppm. The inspection required performing OCR to read the reference code, control or lot number on the label for Track and Trace purposes. Moreover, they had to verify that the label was applied correctly on the bottle: specifically the “double-label” issue was checked, that is when two labels were incorrectly applied to the bottle.

Measurement and inspection of bottles and preforms
Torus decided to design a new measurement machine for plastic bottles and preforms up to 200 mm in diameters. The systems performs accurate measurement of neck dimensions, body diameter, thread measurement, perpendicularity, wall and base thickness. The final solution integrates two identical telecentric CORE lens and lights mounted on two motorized slides: each optical system performs accurate measurements on a 47,4 mm x 37,9 mm field of view with a resolution up to 18,522 microns per pixel.
