Inspection Software suits heat-sealing applications.

Press Release Summary:




Packging Inspector uses Stinger Thermal Imaging Camera to look at real-time heat images at speeds up to 60 frames per second. Image data can be stored for playback at different speeds, used for online process control, or exported into database for quality control purposes. Software is fully user-configurable, and allows for set up, display, and archiving of thermal images. Min, Max, and Avg temperature data can be displayed numerically for each Area Of Interest.

Ircon Packaging Inspector Software Provides New Insight into Sealing Applications



NILES, IL - Ircon, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of the Ircon Packaging Inspector Software. Packaging Inspector is the first thermal imaging system designed to meet the needs of heat-sealing applications in the packaging industry.

Packaging Inspector uses Ircon's Stinger Thermal Imaging Camera to look at real-time heat images at speeds up to 60 frames per second. This image data can be stored for playback at different speeds, used for online process control, or exported into a database for quality control purposes. The Packaging Inspector
software is fully user-configurable, and allows for set up, display, and archiving of thermal images. Minimum, Maximum, and Average temperature data can be displayed numerically for each Area Of Interest (AOI) drawn on the screen. Because the software was written for the familiar Windows® platform, point-and-click
tools are easily utilized - including ones for drawing, zooming, printing, and changing color palettes. Simply begin an image capture, position the cursor to the Area Of Interest, and customize the view on the fly. The temperature image can be optimized using standard color palettes. Regions of interest in the forms of circles, rectangles, or free-form shapes can be drawn around target zones to monitor hot or cold spots in the
process. The Areas of Interest (AOI's) can be keyed to alarms and can ultimately be used as outputs for process control purposes.

Processes where induction heating, RF sealing, Ultrasonic and impulse bonding, and other methods of heat sealing are ideal for the Packaging Inspector system. Applications where a proper seal is critical to shelf life, contamination, or other forms of product failure can benefit from the 100% inspection that Packaging Inspector provides.
