OverviewHigh-speed vision inspection system PLANET EV-T for tablet quality control. Automated inline inspection detects broken, chipped, misshaped or miscolored tablets and rejects defects to meet pharmaceutical production standards.
Advantages- Zero blind spot: 10 2D cameras and 2 3D cameras provide full-surface inspection.
- Defect detection: identifies cracks, chips, shape defects, print/marking errors, color variations and surface contamination.
- Precision feeding: built-in vibrating screw feeder ensures individual tablet separation.
- Stable handling: pocket guides and rotation control accommodate varied tablet shapes and sizes.
- Triple-check safety: 3-step safety design prevents cross-contamination and secures sorting accuracy.
- Usability: recipe-based settings, two-step auto study (machine learning) and stored positional data simplify setup.
- Maintenance: designed for easy cleaning and access to minimize downtime.
