Syringes quality inspection
In this newsletter we take a closer look at the dimensional and cosmetic inspection of syringes and needles. Although some of these inspections are generic for pharmaceutical glass, we also see some very typical ones that are only possible with a well thought-out setup and higher level image processing.
Please have a look at these systems, if any question rise do not hesitate contacting us
