Machine Vision inspection for can lines 

Vision Partners developed a customer-specific vision system that automatically inspects labels on a rotating can line and detects dent and fels edge abnormalities. One integrated unit replaces two legacy inspection stations and transmits real-time to the line.

Description case 

The line requires reliable quality control at high speed.  

The solution includes two camera modules: a line-scan camera for label analysis and an area-scan module for inspecting cans for dents and fels edges. It checks that the right labels are placed in the right place. The presence of holograms can be confirmed. 

All results are logged by batch with image, allowing operators to quickly search back and adjust settings. This improves inspection stability, reduces manual work and increases traceability.
