High-accuracy 3D inspection (Nakai Prize winner)
It is possible to detect small chipping that were difficult to detect by conventional methods at high speed.
We are recognized for our high level of contribution to quality assurance and productivity improvement in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process, we won the Nakai Prize of the Japan Society of Pharmaceutical Machinery and Engineering, the highest in the industry.
High-accuracy character inspection VCR
The labeling inspection, which inspects printing/emboss one character at a time, has been further evolved. High-speed processing of pattern matching that can optionally set the area of interest (ROI) enables more accurate character inspection.
As shown at right, it is possible to detect the words "DJK" and "ファーマ" overall, as well as the individual character "ァ" in "ファーマ".
Stable transfer/increased processing capability
We have accumulated experience and experience in simple mechanisms of trough unit, flow control unit, and disk-track rotation methods. And then we are making it possible to achieve higher and more stable processing capacity.
One Line:
Round tablets: 300,000 tablets/hour (5 mm in diameter)
Shaped tablets: 150,000 tablets/hour (8 mm in length)
Equipped with image processing system V-IPU
HMI, work control, and image processing are integrated into one unit to achieve highly accurate, high-speed image processing.
Using an extensive image processing library, by inspecting the area image, which is an image of one tablet of each line image, it has become possible to detect defective features that were difficult to detect in the past.
