Water Bottle Inspection Application This application uses a machine to inspect water cooler bottles after the bottles are washed. Bottles that are defective due to damage, have incorrect labels, or contain foreign material are removed from the line before they are refilled. |  |
Can Contents
Verification (OCR) (4:35) Featured Tools: Circular Pattern Find, OCR tools This application demo features a vision solution created to verify the contents of canned goods to ensure a successful label inspection process. 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 smart camera locates and reads the printed code and compares it to the verification string setup by the operator. |

Digital Wheel Print Quality Label Inspection This label inspection solution is designed to inspect the quality of numeric characters that were printed on a plastic wheel using heat-transfer printing technology. The PPT Vision smart camera system is programmed to detect gross printing defects, as well as bumps and notches along the edges of the printed characters. The smart 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 Smart 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 label inspection solution. A conveyor transports operator-loaded stacks of labels past an Intelligent Camera with diffused on-axis lighting. The PPT Vision smart camera 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 T20 smart cameras to inspect empty caulk containers. The PPT 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. |
 |
Part Placement Verification This solution uses a smart camera system to verify the placement of pickle slices in glass jars. To meet the wash-down environment requirements, special NEMA 4X enclosures are used to house the cameras, lighting, optics, PC, and LCD display monitor. |
