SYRINGE NEEDLES INSPECTION & MEASUREMENT

Needle tip dimensional gauging

Our TCLWD050 telecentric lens and LT2BC LED backlights, together with Horus software, accurately measures various dimensions of the needle’s tip:

• Needle's tip cut angle

• Needle diameter

• Needle length

The needle angle tip and diameter are accurately measured with our Horus software

(e.g. 17 mm needle height on a 60mm syringe) Our TCCAGE multiview telecentric lens can be customized with 0.5 x magnification and two 90° views for needle measurement.

The combination of prism and beamsplitter provides two telecentric images of the object from a single lens

SYRINGE INSPECTION & MEASUREMENT

Cannula dimensional gauging

Our TCCAGE multiview telecentric lens can be used to measure:

• Cannula angle

• Cannula bow

• Degree of alignment

The lack of perspective given by the telecentric view of TCCAGE provides a quick alignment check regardless of the part orientation.

VACCINE VIALS MEASUREMENT AND INSPECTION

Glass vials contamination and impurity check

Our PCHI SERIES and powerful homogeneous LTBP backlights are used for:

• RESIDUALS AND CONTAMINANTS CHECK

By focusing the bottom and inner walls with one single camera at high resolution.

Backlighting provides a high contrast on the features of interest.

VACCINE VIALS STOPPERS AND CLOSURES

OCR and Matrix code reading

Our PC SERIES lenses can inspect 7.5×5 to 55×20 mm field of views such as vial caps for:

• Expiration date reading

• Matrix code reading

• Barcode reading

• Trace and trace processes

Expiration date can be easily read with this 360° setup without the need to know the bottle orientation.
