Automated visual inspection for small volume parenterals
Ensure the integrity of high-value parenteral drugs by detecting cosmetic and particulate defects with precision, reducing false rejects and improving detection rates in small volume, high mix production environments.
Inspects and Analyzes Vials for Defects
The VISION CAV 600 from WILCO AG is an automated visual inspection platform designed specifically for inspecting vials containing liquid or lyophilized parenteral products. This system utilizes a static optical path to minimize vibrations, ensuring maximum inspection reliability without requiring manual adjustments during format changes. By employing customized inspection algorithms, the VISION CAV 600 achieves exceptional detection rates while reducing false rejects.
Ideal for pharmaceutical and biotech industries, this platform inspects for particles and cosmetic defects in vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and other critical drug products. It supports scalable processing, making it adaptable to new inspection tasks and formats. The platform’s vial transportation system gently handles containers, mitigating inspection-result-affecting factors like bubbles and vibrations.
Engineered to meet GMP standards, the VISION CAV 600 offers easy cleaning and swift format changeovers, enhancing operational efficiency. With up to 13 inspection stations and high-resolution cameras, it provides comprehensive analysis, including cosmetic inspection, particle characterization, and color and turbidity measurement. The system’s servo-driven spinning stations and vacuum gripper systems enable precise and smooth handling, catering to high-speed inline operations. Suitable for diverse production environments, the platform integrates seamlessly into existing lines while ensuring consistent, high-quality outputs.
