PACKAGING INSPECTION PROCESS


Scan and inspect before packaging – checking edges, inserts, folds, and surface integrity

Scan to verify package is filled correctly (underfilling or over overfilling)

Scan for volume of negative space (how much is needed to fill unoccupied volume)

Use 3D information to ensure proper closure and sealing

Execute pass/fail decisions based on integrity proper sealing

Scan package size to determine optimal shipping strategies

Execute control decisions on the presence and correct location of each component

CASE STUDY: YOGURT CUP INSPECTION

» Gocator is used to inspect the rim and surface quality of empty yogurt cups and reject defective cups

» Rapid scan rate (up to 5 KHz), real-time processing, and built-in measuring tools make it easy and accurate to scan at a rate of 600 cups per minute on the production line


9

CASE STUDY: DETERGENT FILLING INSPECTION

» Gocator is used to scan and deliver measurements for verifying if a box of dry detergent has been packed to the correct fill level

» If deficit or excess, Gocator identifies the discrepancy and rejects the package

» Makes a decision to be properly re-filled and returned into the chain


10

CASE STUDY: BOTTLE CAP INTEGRITY INSPECTION

» Verify that container caps have been installed tightly

» Achieved by measuring the height and tilt of the cups

» For wide production lines, multiple smart 3D sensors can be easily integrated to provide high resolution over wide areas


11

CASE STUDY: THERMOSEAL INTEGRITY VERIFICATION

» As the product passes under the field-of-view of the sensor, Gocator scans the seal and generates a complete 3D point cloud

» Using 3D provides precise inspection, not affected by ambient light or component color


12

EXTEND YOUR PACKAGING INSPECTION SYSTEM WITH 2D TECHNOLOGY

» HexSight makes packaging inspection easy◉ Combine HexSight’s powerful 2D geometric

location capability with Gocator’s 3D measurement technology

» Provides flexible and robust contour-based 2D pattern matching to locate parts and features

» Adds 3rd party machine vision camera images » Tightly integrated with Gocator so acquisition

of 3D point clouds and 2D inspection images can stream into inspection processing on a PC
