PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF WATER-CUT OBJECTS Case History WatAJet The customer was asked to develop a unique setup both inline and offline for: dimensional control of the products onboard with a user interface, positioning of the cuttings online, automatic dimensional control of the pieces offline.
A high measurement accuracy, less than 0,1 mm, was required. Moreover, there were strict space constraints inside the machine, thus a compact solution was needed.

360° LABEL INSPECTION ON PHARMACEUTICAL BOTTLES Case History Xyntek 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.
