Vision-based product inspection system for rejecting defective items
In high-volume production lines, ensuring product quality and preventing downstream equipment blockages are critical to maintaining efficiency. The challenge is to identify and reject defective items automatically to avoid manual intervention and potential wastage.
Inspect, qualify, and reject defective items
The Vision Selector by Royal Houdijk is designed to improve line efficiency through comprehensive product inspection and rejection. Positioned before the product flow is captured between guides, the Vision Selector utilizes an array of cameras to inspect product circumference, height, shape, and position. Products that do not meet the specified criteria are automatically rejected using an individual product reject unit. The system gathers data on product quality, including defects over time and across the belt width, and can share this data with your MES system. Additional inspections, such as color and surface checks, can be integrated based on customer specifications.
