The print inspection* system (hereinafter referred to as PIS) is designed to detect printed character defects on both sides of a plastic product (top and sides).
Minimum defect size = 1.0 mm.
The duration of one PIS inspection cycle = not more than 1.0 seconds.
To implement inspection from both sides, two machine vision cameras and special dome lights shall be installed to provide a clear and glare-free image of the item under inspection.
To enable prompt viewing of print inspection results, a graphical operator interface has been developed.
If no defects are detected, PASS (ГОДНО) is displayed under the image of each type; if a defect is detected, FAIL (БРАК) is displayed.
The defect detected by the PIS is highlighted with a red box.
The inspection statistics are also displayed on the operator panel. The inspection result is transmitted through the PIS digital output to the conveyor control system.
