Pick & place vision system for packaging quality control
In automated packaging processes, traditional image processing techniques often fall short when dealing with continuous product flow. This leads to challenges in quality control, as cameras working with individual images cannot fully represent the product stream, resulting in potential production errors.
Automate quality control and precise product placement
The pick & place vision system from Schubert Group is designed to ensure consistently high product quality in automated packaging lines. This modular system integrates line sensors into both incident-light and 3D scanners, providing a continuous observation of product flow. The vision system’s modules, which can be combined up to a working width of 1800 millimeters, include integrated lighting and software applications like the ‘reach into the box’ feature, allowing robots to pick products from a pile accurately. Looking ahead, Schubert is advancing its vision system with neuronal networks and AI, enabling the system to independently sort products into classes through a learning process. Customers benefit from fewer rejects, lower costs, and guaranteed product quality across various applications, including flow-wrapping and case packing machines.
