Global Polytec Ltd.,Part.

Integrated machine vision system for the automated inspection of a medical device. The machine is a stand alone unit which interfaces with the output from an injection moulding machine. The parts fall from the main out-feed hopper unit into the vision system bowl feed directly, this allows the parts to be inspected immediately following manufacture for defects. Our customer is a blue chip manufacturer of syringe devices into the medical devices and pharmaceutical industry – this component is part of the internal sub-assembly which forms the guts of the main product. The vision system completes a 360 degree inspection of the surface of the product to confirm it has formed correctly in the mould. Our NeuroCheck machine vision system utilises 24bit color image processing functionality to identify if the central portion of the mould is formed correctly via color matching. The products are presented to the vision system cameras via a small dial plate with the products exiting via a small chute if they pass the inspection process. Upon a failure the products fall into a locked box for collection later in the shift. The complete quality control machine is validated to GAMP and FDA standards for medical device manufacture. Due to the confidential nature of the product the video is limited in what can be shown. Further case studies and information can be found on our website at www.industrialvision.co.uk

This video is an excerpt from our Efficient Molding Setting Course – Lesson 1. This course provides basic procedures on how to efficiently set up a mold, troubleshoot mold problems, and properly remove and prepare a mold for storage.
