Sectors such as the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries have been relying on blisters for packaging their sensitive products. With the camera system Polyphem wt, Laetus offers a solution for comprehensive inline quality control on blister machines. Regular advancements, as for instance the module Polyphem wt 3D for three-dimensional inspection, enable meeting all individual process requirements as well as new security standards.
Versatile inspection solution
Whether medication, toothbrushes or chocolate confectionary – intact packaging is one of the prerequisites for presenting a product successfully. The camera system Polyphem wt supports a variety of control options for blister packaging that is filled with coloured tablets, capsules, dragees, syringes and vials or applicators. Beyond checking the presence, the system is able to detect errors in colour, form, dimension and position of the content. It also recognises contaminations, damages or overfilled pockets.
Tailor-made adaption
A Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP)-compliant industrial computer with a touchscreen and a lighting unit with one or more integrated cameras build the basic structure of Polyphem wt. Various optional modules adapt the system to customer-specific process requirements. Polyphem wt 3D uses stereoscopy to evaluate height and colour, and thus detects double or broken content. Moreover, the module is can be used for inspections in low-contrast surroundings. Polyphem wt Pro Twin+ allows for controlling blisters from above and below, before and after sealing. Both modules can be combined with each other.
Up to date
Polyphem wt inspects objects of diverse materials lying in blisters for errors and therefore ensures that fault objects are discharged from the production process. Laetus configures the modularly expandable system according to operator’s requirements.
