The New! ForeSightTM Vision Inspection Station from Delkor Systems visually scans and evaluates up to 500 individual product containers per minute. The ForeSight’s vision sensor technology scans the surface features of each package to identify missing, misaligned or damaged closure components, as well as tipped, double-stacked or wrong-size containers.
The ForeSight system evaluates each product’s visual image against a quality-standard algorithm in software to determine which items have to be diverted from normal product flow. For defective parts, the software activates a nondestructive reject mechanism to safely direct the non-conforming package onto a sidetrack conveyor where it can be manually inspected and, possibly, re-introduced into the product stream, thereby reducing waste. Initial applications include the inspection of lid and overcap closures for cultured dairy products in tapered cup containers.
The ForeSight Vision Inspection Station is engineered and constructed to provide a NEMA 4 level of protection to withstand the washdown environment common to the food and beverage industries.
