At the end of the line, manufacturers often still inspect with a lot of manual effort: is the product labelled perfectly? Has the label been positioned correctly? Are all the caps closed correctly? TQS not only performs these checks more efficiently, but also more reliably.
High-precision cameras provide the software with all the information it needs to evaluate presence, color, position, angle and shape, and even to check content such as codes or human readable text. Depending on the camera position, it inspects, for example, the area of the cap and sealing ring, the embossing or the label.
Thanks to its modular design, the system's scope of functions can be tailored to a wide range of individual requirements. All functions are fully integrated and operated via one central control unit. This holistic approach applies to all available modules, from the checkweigher and the labeler to serialized marking.
Systems over Components
Traditional approaches involve piecing together components from multiple providers – leading to interface challenges, inefficiencies, and frustrating integration issues: limited space, time-consuming product changeovers, and the complexity of diverse production parameters. There is way more to consider than just mounting a camera:
- Brackets with reproducible height and angle adjustment
- Article-based parameters for exposure
- Signal exchange with the process line
- Product transport and speed
- Discharge with cross-checking
- User interfaces
- Interfaces and integrations with higher-level systems
All-around inspection with TQS
TQS offers a way forward towards automation and digitalization. This system combines multiple inspection tasks like cap position, seal ring, label verification and weight control in one single, compact unit. Implementing this streamlined process reduces training time, optimizes changeovers, and ensures quality control that boosts production performance instead of slowing it down.
