rELiaBLE QuaLitY controLfor PacKinG ProcESSESQuality control using industrial vision systems is a crucial step in ensuring perfect products. However, it is not just during the manufacturing process itself that it has an important role to play. final inspections such as completeness checks during the packing process are also vital in order to guarantee product quality and customer satisfaction. thanks to the conVer system from SICK, it is possible to optimize the reliability and economic efficiency of these checks and make costly complaints due to incomplete products a thing of the past.

the manual packing of products is always subject to the possibility of human error, with the result that subsequent completeness checks always have to be performed. However, the conduct of quality controls by operating personnel is not only labor- and time-intensive, but also usually leads to more or less uneven results. the use of the conVer system is the best possible way to overcome this problem.

conVer is a turnkey quality control system. it works fully automatically to check the contents of many different types of packaging even at high throughputs.

the system makes use of the movement of the conveyor belt to scan the packaging. High-resolution 3d cameras acquire precise images of the packed content. The verification itself is performed on the basis of characteristic features such as edges, grooves or drill holes. these are present only if the packaging has been filled correctly.

EXamPLES of uSEthe conVer system is perfect for use in all industrial manufacturing processes where components are packed manually or semi-automatically. conVer reliably checks both the completeness and the correct positioning of parts in boxes or containers and on pallets.

completeness check during the packing of furniture parts

the packing of furniture parts is a complex process and one that is therefore liable to error. Cardboard boxes are filled manually or semi-automatically using robots. in addition, it is necessary to handle a wide range of products. a single product can consist of a large num-ber of different items such as panels, screws and hinges. However, products are also often composed of relatively similar parts which differ only in small details such as the presence of a drill hole. during packing, parts can easily be forgotten or mistaken.

Position check of parts with a predefined location

in many applications in the consumer goods, toy or tool industries, parts must be arranged in layers and be placed precisely above one another. in this case, it is necessary to ensure not only that the parts are actually present but also that they are located at the correct position in the box or container. if they are not then this may cause production bottlenecks and delays in the downstream process steps.

dependability and reliable recognition

The parts for verification are often similar in terms of color or thickness even though they may differ considerably in their material, shape or surface finish. The high-perfor-mance 3d vision technology makes it possible to recognize these features reliably and independently of the characte-ristics of the parts.

Scalability and flexibility

The ConVer system consists of up to five verification sta-tions, each of which checks one layer in the packaging. the stations can be positioned as required along the conveyor belt. individual stations can be activated and deactiva-ted depending on the number of layers to be checked. in this way, it is possible to perform frequent, rapid product changes without difficulty and with minimum machine downtimes.

conVer meets all the expectations placed on a modern, industrial machine vision system. With its robust design, the system also functions in demanding industrial environments. the system compo-nents are carefully harmonized and precalibrated before they leave the factory.

Intuitive user guidance and simple configuration

The system can be configured quickly and easily via the user-friendly operating software. new templates can be created in just a few clicks. and if the contents of the pa-ckaging change, it is a simple task to adapt the reference templates appropriately.

Process optimization

the measurement data and images recorded by the system are not only used to correct packing errors. the results can also subsequently be consulted for systema-tic analyses designed to identify possible errors in the upstream production process which would otherwise re-main undetected. in this way, conVer can make an active contribution to process optimization.

rELiaBLE, VErSatiLE, uSEr-friEndLY

Product descriptionconVer is a turnkey system for quality control during packing processes. the system checks whether boxes or contai-ners have been filled correctly and with all the required contents. it consists of a scalable number of verification sta-tions that can be positioned as required along the conveyor belt.

Each station is equipped with a high-performance 3d camera that acquires images of the container contents. these are compared with taught-in reference images in real time. if any discrepancies are detected, the system informs the operator who can then immediately correct the error.

the measurement results and feedback information are clearly displayed at mo-nitors and via indicator lights. the sys-tem also possesses an automatic stop/start function for the conveyor belt.

The task of configuring the system could not be easier thanks to the intuitive operating software. reference templa-tes can be adapted quickly and easily without the need for any new teach-in activities. comprehensive archiving functions and offline analysis capabi-lities make it possible to optimize the production process beyond the aspects of quality control alone.
