Gasket inspection (applies to 2-pieces caps), plug-seal (applies to 1-piece caps) Inspection criteria: voids or excess of material, black speck, contaminations, colour variations, colour streaks, wrong colours (in LAB colour space), roundness, dimensional controls, special checkpoint specifically designed to control the perfect moulding of wings (voids, flashes, black specks and others) Ovality: ± 0.2mm, black particle: Φ0.3mm, pinhole: Φ 0.5mm -Outer inspection Contamination outside wall, height meas., colour defects, deformation, outside flash, ovality, diameter Yes Inspection of the sidewall through proprietary 360-3D algorithms, decoration inspection (both bottom and sidewall, if present), inspection of the engraving, the cut of tamper evident band (applies to both straight or tethered cuts): presence of the cut, ends alignment, thickness of the bridges, others. Inspection of the knurls, bulging Black particle: Φ 0.5mm, print: ≥30 gray level & ≥1.0mm offset -Geometry Any type Yes Measurement of inner and outer diameter, diameter of the plug seal (applies to 1-piece caps). Measurement of cap height, of diameters along the body (the user can define both the point where the measurement is applied and the number of measurements to be carried out) -Cavity number reading Automated 100% cavity inpspection by IMDvista Neuron (generic AI tool) Yes Yes, through proprietary AI algorithms Save images by number with mould number reading function -Microhole inspection Available / high-voltage Spark system Yes Yes, using proprietary spark tester device with patented compensation of the voltage based on the air humidity, up to 4000 pcs/min -Additional inspection criteria for inserts Top plate inspection for colour, print and contamination N/A AI-based algorithms Inspected diameter range : 12-53 mm; inspected height range 4-37mm Further inspection options New calibrated and validated system solution; AI inspection for tethered closure types - no false rejects, Inline measurements with absolute values due to system calibration Correlation of defects by mould or tool number, in injection-moulded caps, this function is performed by reading cavity numbers engraves inside the cap using proprietary OCR-AI algorithms. In rotary machines, the correlation is carried out using electrical signals, benefiting from a robust and time-efficient method for associating inspection information with the tool. This method can be applied to all rotary machines including those that do not mould or print a number inside the cap. Cavity recognition, print colour, print damage Colour Camera: All colour cameras Yes Yes, up to 5M pixels Yes Installation: Stand-alone (offline) Available No Yes, thanks to Sacmi know how as leader in manufacturing lines for caps, we can provide state-of-the-art turn-key solutions complete with all the necessary ancillaries for a correct feeding, cooling and boxing Yes Inline Available Yes Yes, to any existing or new machine (assembly machines, compression moulding machines, injection moulding machines, slitting/folding machines, lining machines, etc) Yes Softwarefeatures: AI tool - IMDvista Neuron; IMDvista Portal - Connects your IMD vision systems Software portal for process monitoring and control CVS software supports OPC/UA, MODBUS, and HTTP protocols for sharing statistical data with MES or supervisors. It provides a set of intuitive web pages displaying statistics, line performance, alarms, measurements, and trends throughout the production day or a specific period of time.
