For more than 25 years, Vimec Applied Vision Technology contributes to this quality standard. Our automated inspection- and data monitoring systems are highly appreciated globally and we are very proud to be a key partner in today’s operations and future developments.
Vials quality inspection
In this newsletter, we take a closer look at the dimensional and cosmetic inspection of vials. Although some of these inspection systems are generic for pharmaceutical glass, we also see some very typical ones that are only possible with a well thought-out set up and higher level image processing.
Please have a look at these systems, if any questions rise do not hesitate contacting us
Kind regards,
INSPECTION NEWS
Thyone: dimensional vial inspection
The Thyone system is performing inline dimensional inspection of vials, typically before the annealing oven. The systems measures outer dimensions as well as total length.
Telesto: vial inner diameter inspection
The Telesto system is designed to perform inner diameter inspection of vials, typically before the annealing oven. The system lifts the vials out of the line, and present them in front of the camera.
Pandora: concavity and thickness inspection
The Pandora system is performing bottom concavity and bottom thickness inspection. Mounted on a linear drive, the system is moving parallel to the bottom of the vial to perform inspection.
Rhea: cosmetic inspection
The Rhea system is performing cosmetic inspection of several areas of the vial, typically after the annealing oven. Vimec offers several different configurations with different areas of interest, such as:
- Sealing/filling area
- Bottom area
- Shoulder area
- Under the lip area
- Body area
Triton: dark field inspection
The Triton system is performing cosmetic inspection the vial, using dark field illumination, typically after the annealing oven. This principle is based on reflection and defects that have a reflective nature, provide a contrast compared to the dark back ground.
