PCE Colour Blister Inspection

High-performance colour camera for filling control: high recognition capability, and suited to a wide range of products, foils and blister machines.

One of the most important requirements met by this system is the ability to distinguish precisely between colour shades, e.g. across tablets with varying concentrations of active ingredient. Monitors a wide range of products with all current types of blister foil. The appliance handles all error carryovers and ejection control, and also has the ability to process external sensors, e.g. monitoring mend locations, foil splices, etc.

Highlights

• For tablets, hard/soft gelatine capsules, single and dual coloured products
• Monitors up to 10 geometric and colour characteristics of tablets and capsules
• For transparent, opaque or aluminium foil
• Foil surface control
• Monitoring of up to 6 blister lines, with shift register and real-time display on the monitor
• Monitors up to 15,000 tablets per minute
• Ideal for continuous and intermittently operating machines
• User-friendly and simple to operate
• Processes up to 11 external failure sensors, e.g. mend foil sensor
• Automated teach-in procedure
• Fast change of formats from the product archive in memory
• Excellent possibility of integration into new and existing blister machines
• Modules for batch records, data backup, audit trail, password and format administration compliant with 21 CFR Part 11
