Layout

Operation

Camera teaching of the standard product

  • After setting the Induction Sealing Machine properly to the required temperature/heat value, a few bottles are passed through the conveyor.
  • A thermal image of each bottle is taken by an infrared camera (till it is warm).
  • The entire image is converted into a smaller thermal pixel resolution for accuracy.
  • This image is then analysed and stored as temporary data.
  • After a confirmation of the sample bottle’s seal correctness, the same data is then saved as master data for further production reference.

Machine operation process

  • Once the production has started, the infra-red camera captures a picture of each bottle.
  • The statistical analysis of data from this image is compared with the master data.
  • If any defect is perceived by C6, the defective product is discarded through the adjacent rejection point (R2) by pneumatic operation, into the same rejection bin.
  • If any discrepancy is observed, it is recorded against a specific error.
  • The decision is transferred to the PLC, which then transfers the bottle to the rejection bin.
  • The rejection confirming sensor cross-checks the removal of the rejected bottle from the production line.
