MK360™ Vision System Feeds and Inspects Pharmaceutical Ferrules

MK360™ Vision System Feeds and Inspects Pharmaceutical Ferrules

World leading contract development and manufacturing company approached RNA to design and develop a fully automated quality control and machine vision inspection system to feed, orientate and inspect pharmaceutical ferrules at a speed of 200 parts per minute.

The RNA MK360™ glass disc vision machine is developed specifically for 360° quality inspection. A unique and novel approach to inspecting through the use of a rotating disc.

Solution

The ferrules are fed from a vibratory bowl feeder, onto a conveyor system and fed individually onto a rotating glass disc, where they are presented to the 3-camera system.

Component parts are checked for roundness and diameter of the ferrules, and for anodised/non-anodised surface finish.

An air blast complete with control solenoid valve removes individual ‘good’ components from the disc into a chute; remaining ‘reject’ components continue round the disc being gently ejected from the wheel down a chute into a collection box.
