Solutions for Packaging Inspection

LED illumination is widely used in the packaging industry to ensure that packaging is of the highest standards. Vision systems are typically used when the packaging is formed, filled, labeled or placed in crates to ensure that all of these processes are carried out correctly.

Packaging whether it is made of glass, plastic or metal can be inspected to detect surface flaws and ensure that dimensions are correct. Vision systems are often used to ensure that packaging is filled to the correct level and to verify that packages are sealed correctly. Another common application is label inspection, this can be used to ensure the positioning of the label is correct and to verify the information on the label  - critical in ensuring traceability.

The quality of  illumination of the area under inspection will determine the accuracy and throughput of the process. The  brightness and uniformity of illumination is extremely important in determining the speed of vision systems used in the packaging industry.
