Description: The SIGNUM Tube 1DC system is designed for print inspection of barcodes and print marks on aluminium and plastic tubes, either monochrome or multi-coloured. It is positioned between tube feeding and filling, ensuring that only correctly marked tubes proceed to the filling stage. This system enhances productivity by preventing errors in tube orientation for sealing or overprinting.

Area of Application: The system is applicable to aluminium and plastic tubes, inspecting criteria such as pharmacodes, miniature pharmacodes, and print marks.

Highlights: The system integrates with the latest QI visualisation, providing real-time and historical data of up to 15 previous results. It is an ideal addition to existing packaging lines, offering high-speed and responsive evaluation. The system features a modular build, real-time operating system QNX® for security and speed, and a uniform graphical interface. It is fully compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 and features wear-free, electronically controllable scanware W-LED illumination. Communication with machinery is facilitated via VDMAXML_P or OPC UA protocol, and it supports numerous inspection parameters and statistical tools. The system guarantees part availability for 10 years and offers support within 24 hours.

System: The SIGNUM Codes (1DC) system performs tube inspection using 1D code inspection technology. It is compact and can be installed on various tube filling machinery, making it a versatile addition to packaging lines. The system uses high-speed code readers for efficient evaluation, overcoming print distortions due to tube curvature with advanced algorithms. It requires less installation space compared to camera solutions and can integrate into the IMPERA Line Management environment.
