This application
demo features a vision solution created to verify the contents
of canned goods. Canned goods are typically stored in inventory
without labels until they are ready to be shipped out. During
the labeling process, high-speed labeling machines typically
identify the can by the code printed on the bottom of the
can. This application shows how a PPT VISION IMPACT Intelligent
locates and reads the printed code and compares it to the
verification string setup by the operator. |

Digital Wheel Print Quality Inspection
This solution is designed to inspect the quality of numeric characters that were printed on a plastic wheel using heat-transfer printing technology. The IMPACT vision system is programmed to detect gross printing defects, as well as bumps and notches along the edges of the printed characters. The camera takes an image of each character as the wheel turns, then displays the results when the full cycle is completed after ten images.

Fiber Marker Tip Orientation Application
This solution uses two IMPACT Intelligent Cameras that are positioned 90-degrees apart to determine the orientation of fiber marker tips before they are inserted into a final assembly. A recipe file stores the inspection parameters for different shaped tips and the appropriate part file is loaded through a Binary Coded Decimal input before each inspection.

Label Stack Verification
This is another complete turnkey solution. A conveyor transports operator-loaded stacks of labels past an IMPACT Intelligent Camera with diffused on-axis lighting. The IMPACT vision system is programmed to detect mixed or misprinted labels in the stack before final packaging. A custom interface provides easy setup for each label type.

Multiple Cameras Inspect Caulk Container
This solution uses four IMPACT T20 Intelligent Cameras to inspect empty caulk containers. The IMPACT vision system is programmed to inspect the position of the nozzle, the shape of the tube's opening, and the seal between the cardboard and metal materials. The four cameras take seven images to complete a full inspection cycle for each container within 0.2 seconds.
