What’s new? The system, which will be displayed this month at K 2019.
Benefits The ability to automatically take multiple, accurate measurements at once on a bevy of styles of containers and preforms, and suitability for inspections of parts made with recycled PET. Designed for ease of use, the system can handle more than 100,000 parts per hour and is sensitive to color inconsistencies. Using reference images, the system can judge when a part’s color has fallen outside acceptable range — an important test when dealing with parts made from recycled resin. In addition, the Pilot Vision+ offers advanced tools to simplify job setup, and features a large image display, comprehensive data capture and Industry 4.0 communications. The unique lens design of its cameras means there’s no need for mechanical lens adjustments, and it simplifies changeovers.
