Tablet and capsule visual inspection system
Achieve unparalleled precision in tablet and capsule inspection with a high-speed system that detects even the smallest defects, ensuring quality control and compliance with pharmaceutical standards.

Inspects and Sorts Pharmaceutical Tablets and Capsules
The VISITAB 3-M from ACG is a cutting-edge, vision-based inspection system tailored for pharmaceutical manufacturers who demand meticulous quality control and efficiency. This system uses ten new-generation color cameras and 3D high-resolution laser sensors per track, delivering 360° inspection of tablets and capsules to identify cosmetic defects with precision. It is capable of sorting up to 600,000 units per hour, making it ideal for large-scale production of products like aspirin, multivitamin, and Omega-3 capsules. Its plug-and-play tooling allows for seamless integration into existing production lines with minimal storage requirements. The system is 21 CFR Part 11-compliant, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards, while its intuitive configuration means setup can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. With its robust design and anti-jamming feeding mechanism, the VISITAB 3-M is engineered to handle complex-shaped tablets, ranging from 5mm to 13mm in diameter.
