Ring Codes (CL) ■ Description SIGNUM Ring Codes is a high-resolution colour vision system for inspection of colour codes on ampoules, vials and syringes. Installed on packaging lines, the system detects deficient products and prevents cross-contamination. The system can be used for both single ampoule inspection and inspection of multiple and different products in blisters or trays. ■ Area of Application Applicable Objects: ■ Inspection of ampoules and vials ■ Inspection of multiple items in blister or tray ■ Single product inspection on labelling machines Inspection Criteria: ■ Ampoules: Number of colour rings, ring colours, ring sequence, width, distance between rings, gaps and overall length of all rings ■ Vials: Presence and colour of cap ■ At the same time, the presence and colour of the label is inspected ■ Highlights ■ Real colour recognition for optimum results ■ Inspection of ringcode and label in one single step ■ Electronically controllable scanware SMD-W-LED illumination for reproducible light conditions ■ Two illumination levels can be evaluated in immediate succession

■ System SIGNUM Ring Codes offers real colour evaluation for the inspection of up to 9,600 products per minute. Up to 80 units per package with up to four different product types can be inspected. Up to seven parameters, each taught specifically and individually, can be used in one inspection step. Per ampoule, up to six rings can be verified. The combination of illumination, usability and high quality hardware establish a powerful inspection system. The use of white LED offers long-life, wear-free, homogenous illumination. The guided menu structure is easy-to-follow and user-friendly....

■ Re-Teaching The partial teach-in enables the user to change ring colours at a later stage. Particularly with ampoules, varieties in colour due to production environments occur frequently. In this case, it is not necessary to undertake a full format teach-in. Instead, error images of ampoules of a new batch can be used to add the colours to the product colour definition. Afterwards, the ring codes on these products are recognized as correct. ■ Quality is visible. ■ Modular build for a multitude of installation options ■ Real-time operating system QNX® for security and speed ■ Uniform...
