MULTIVAC I 410 automatic inspection solution

The I 410 model from MULTIVAC Marking & Inspection is an automatic inspection solution. With high-resolution and height-adjustable line scanners and image processing, it is designed to ensure reliable marking and quality inspection from above and below. The space-saving inspection system can be used flexibly as a standalone solution at the end of a packaging machine or it can be integrated into a line.

The areas of use range from completeness checks on the packs, through to presence and position inspection of the labels, and up to checking the print — this includes pattern and character recognition, character verification and inspection of legibility and codes. The image-capturing technology enables images in high resolution to be transmitted and verified at high speeds within the packaging procedure.

It has a hygienic design for use in the food industry and is equipped with a separate transport conveyor. The packs can either be fed in manually or transferred from an up-stream transport unit. Since a motorised ejection device ensures that reject packs are ejected consistently, compressed air is not required to operate the inspection system.

The system is operated via the MULTIVAC HMI 2.0. It is controlled centrally via the control terminal of the packaging machine, and all processes can be controlled intuitively on the 12″ LCD touchscreen. Line Control ensures efficient line integration and enables product changes to be carried out quickly since the setting parameters for the particular product are saved in the recipe. The inspection results are also transferred to the line-motion control of the machine, so that packs detected as rejects can be tracked and ejected from the line. This ensures that only faultless packs reach the retail outlets.
