Input-Output signals allow to command rejects of non-conforming products as well as synchronizing with machine cycles (start/stop/suspend production, etc.).
This solution can be integrated into the Antares Vision architecture and may therefore be integrated with all traditional line controls such as tray inspection, all the Universal Packaging Inspector suite, as well as all the Track and Trace systems. The highest reliability is ensured by image processing performed with real time-embedded technology and by the total absence of critical components such as hard disks.
FEATURES
- Performed controls: mixed-up products, colours correctness, shape, geometry (area, contour, major/minor axis), cracks and breaks, chipping.
- Easy mechanical and electronic integration on every counting machine.
- Automatic threshold tuning: analysing the last found errors, the software automatically adapts the acceptance thresholds, thus minimizing false rejects while keeping utmost control reliability.
- Up to 12 vibrating channels can be inspected at the same time and virtually unlimited number of memorized formats.
- Advanced statistical analyses with detailed reject typology to help detecting the reject causes in the upstream production process.
- Easy user-friendly graphic user interface and simple and fast auto-learning procedure.

FEATURES
- Performed controls: filling level, cap presence, cap tilting and correct positioning, presence of label.
- High working speed of 70,000 containers/hour to detect at the same time: Filling level, Correct positioning of bottle cap and Presence of label.
- Easy to use: being based on self-learning procedure; operation is managed through pre-set recipes, allowing quick and efficient format change.
THE HIGHEST
QUALITY OF
YOUR CONTAINERS
IS ENSURED
Container Inspection is developed for applications upstream of food packaging lines, where the highest quality standards are required on each container. It performs a visual inspection both on the inner and outer surface of the empty container, regardless of its colour and material.
AV Container Inspection is often employed in the manufacturing of primary packaging materials to ensure the constant quality of production. It verifies the printing accuracy of the outer surface, as well as the perfect shape and dimensions of the container (rim, body, base), and the cleanliness of the inner surface. It is often combined with UV printing systems for production lot traceability. The system can be smart camera or pc based and can be totally integrated on existing machines
KEY FEATURES
- Accurate, it detects structural imperfections and impurities down to 0.5 mm2
- Highly performing, it ensures 40 thousand inspections per hour
- Easy to use, it does not require any setup by the operator, being based on self-learning algorithms and operation is managed through pre-set recipes, allowing quick and efficient format change.
Antares Vision Packaging Control regards both the container and the quality of the printing.
CONTAINER DETECTION
Antares Vision performs the highest controls to ensure the correctness of all your containers, thus to guarantee the maximum quality and safety to your customers.

COMES WITH LABELLING
The bottle orientation system is a Visual inspection system for the precision orientation of containers during the labelling and packaging process on automatic high-speed lines. Based on a single high resolution camera, it detects the singularities on the surface of a container of any material, regardless of the material and content, transmitting to the control system the angular position of any distinctive element with respect to a known reference point. It allows the reading of embossed features, logotypes, welding seams and "dots" on the bottom, to generate an angular reference for any type of container without the need to insert extra components in the inner part of the carousel. AV Bottle Orientation System is designed to work in combination with the control systems of labeling machines, cappers and in general with all applications that require the orientation of bottles.

PRINTING CONTROL
Antares Vision supports the control of the printed samples in the packaging industry, from the original design to the mass printing of materials.
INLINE CHECK
OF INTEGRITY,
PRINT AND POSITION
To support precision operations on labelling machines, Antares Vision solutions provide dedicated solutions as visual inspection kits that can be installed on any new or existing equipment. The AV Label Checker is Antares Vision system for labels inspection, flat or applied on front/back or all-around containers, with inline check of integrity, print and position. It is designed to operate in single camera or multi-camera mode: according to the container transport system, it allows to compose the image from one or more viewpoints without the need to insert extra components in the inner part of the carousel.
FEATURES
The AV Label Checker provides maximum accuracy thanks to high resolution cameras in a fixed position which generate a single image on which the system can analyze and detect any cosmetic fault of the label or of the application. The AV Label Checker is also easy to use as it does not require any setup by the operator, being based on self-learning algorithms; operation is managed through pre-set recipes, to guarantee reproducible and reliable inspection performance.
- Accuracy rate is less than 0.5 mm2
- The system can detect the presence and readability of specific critical areas of the label such as barcode, datamatrix, QR code
- The system can perform OCR controls, identifying defects smaller than 0.5 mm2 at a speed of 30 thousand labels per hour for single camera
