Peco Controls Introduces New LabelScan(TM) Inspection System
Pack Expo Vegas Booth #C-2902
Applications: foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and cosmetics/personal care products packed in glass, plastic and metal
August 6, 2007 - Peco Controls, a leading manufacturer of package inspection systems worldwide, introduces the new LabelScan(TM) at Pack Expo Vegas. This unique, camera-based label inspection system uses PC-Eyebot technology, which allows LabelScan to "learn" and store the correct label parameters for each product easily and quickly. With this "learned image," all the packages on the production line are compared for conformity and out-of-tolerance packages are automatically ejected from the line. LabelScan helps assure all packages meet product specifications.
LabelScan maximizes production flexibility. The system can be trained to inspect the full label area or focus on specific areas of the labeled package by defining the appropriate "region of interest." The criteria for defining a defect in each area and the accept/reject thresholds for each of those definitions can be set by the user. By allowing tolerance settings to be adjusted, the versatile LabelScan enables smaller defects to be either accepted or rejected, as determined by the packager.
LabelScan provides a complete solution. Each system includes camera, lighting, control enclosure, ejector timing, and ejector. By mounting the LabelScan camera on a rotary labeler platform, LabelScan provides a total look at each container label with inspection for skew (alignment), presence, correctness, tears, dog-ears and flags at speeds of up to 800 containers per minute.
The LabelScan operator console features a large display and includes the Peco Controls Multi-Trac Ejector Control for accurate ejection of out-of-tolerance packages. LabelScan includes an encoder input and timing sensors to assure proper tracking from the inspection to the ejection station.
LabelScan "learns" the proper image by depressing the "learn" button on the console. Selections for previously "learned" menu entries can also be selected through the keyboard entry supplied with the system.
LabelScan can be equipped with camera inputs selected for the application and inspects a broad range of container sizes. Alternative configurations allow for "front and back" (multiple label) inspection.
