Description
Auto Capsule Inspection Machine|Continuous Optical Vision Detecting
General Introduction
Auto Capsule Inspection Machine adopts advanced high-definition vision system and high-speed image processing technology of AI algorithm, combined with stable mechanical structure and reliable control system.
Continuous High Speed Capsule Inspection
It detects at a high-speed and with 360°, no dead angle checking.
The design speed 1,440 caps/min.
The stable speed 1,200 caps/minute; the defective capsule is rejected automatically.
Advantages
To avoid subjective emotions caused non-accurate inspection of manually labor.
To reduce labor intensity for workers and less fatigue.
To improve the efficiency/speed and precision of capsule inspection.
To lower the capsule manufacturing cost for the enterprises.
What kind of defective capsules can be detected by this optical vision inspecting
Top concavity, half cut, concave, breakage, foreign matter, black spot, hair, different color, deflated shell, fork split, split, inserted wrongly, length abnormality (long body, short body, long cap, short cap, long capsule, short capsule) Staining, the presence or absence of printing, different specifications, double capsules, empty capsules.
How does the auto vision capsule inspecting work
Filled capsules, loaded into the feed hopper on the inspection machine; through the capsule dropping mechanism to release the vertical row of capsules one by one, and put the capsules down horizontally, into the capsule rotating mechanism.
The capsule rotates itself while moves forwarder to the optical inspection section. In the optical inspection section, there are multiple reflective mirrors to detect capsules.
The passing-by capsule will push the last rows of capsule out of the inspection area. The defective capsules are rejected into a container and the qualified capsules discharged to next process.

Machine Features
- 360 ° no dead angle detection for each capsule passing by.
- Suits for 00#、0#、0#EL、1#、2#、3#、4#、5# capsules by replacing molds.
- Four level passwords for different management need.
- Machine itself is simple structure, easy to disassemble, clean, operate and maintain.
- With movable casters.
- The whole process does not require manual contact with the capsule, reducing the human mistake.
- Capsule can be loaded automatically via compressed air.
- The inspection machine is ok to use alone or connect to a capsule filling machine by making the same number of channels.
