BLISTER & PRODUCT INSPECTION SPECTRA Contraceptives (HR) ¢ Description Contraceptives pose a distinct challenge to vision systems due to their small size and often, different products, ordered by intake week, are placed in one blister. Utlilising SPECTRA High Resolution with its designated algorithms enables secure quality control for these products. For high accuracy even with large foil widths, scanware uses multiple camera systems with 3CMOS cameras. To cancel colour aberrations caused by camera heat, a water-cooling system is installed with the cameras. To outbalance colour disparities due to camera tolerances, the system operates with separate colour informations for each camera. This enables the user to work on a single, rectified image. ¢ Area of Application Applicable contraceptives: Inspection criteria: ▪ Various colours in one blister ▪ Various shapes within the same blister ▪ Uncommon blister shapes like dialpacks ▪ Special shapes, i.e. angular tablets with rounded edges, d-shapes or triangles ¢ Highlights ▪ Inspection of various products and shapes in same blister possible ▪ Detection of smallest differences in colour and shape ▪ All blister geometries can be recognised ▪ Multi-camera solutions for challenging applications ▪ Applicable for post-seal inspection ▪ Resolutions of 2, 5 or 12 megapixels ▪ Utilisation of 3CMOS-came

¢ Evaluation Examples Contraceptive with four different tablet types The system software of SPECTRA High Resolution is equipped with improved algorithms for shape recognition. Thus, different products in the same blister as well as products with minimal differences in shape can be safely inspected. Contraceptive with minimal differences in product colours The colour separation power of the system enables the detection of minimal colour differences that can hardly be detected by the naked eye. Different colours within one blister can be distinguished securely. No other system can offer this level of...
