The automated visual inspection platform VISION CAV is designed for a customized, fully-automated inspection of particles and cosmetic defects of vials with liquid or lyophilized products.

The vision machine combines solid and proven mechanical engineering according to GMP standards with the latest digital inspection technology.

Container transportation system
The vial transportation system was designed to gently transport the test samples through the inspection stations with the goal of reducing bubble creation and vibrations that might impact the inspection result.

Cosmetic and particle inspection
The cosmetic inspection stations provide container rotation of 360° checking for cracks, scratches and other defects on the container and closure.

Particulates are inspected using image subtraction and corresponding algorithms.

Customized configuration of camera stations
High-resolution image sequences are recorded by several camera stations. Spinning profiles may be adjusted for different particle characteristics such as floating, or heavy particles. Additional camera stations allow for inspection of geometric measurements and detection of discoloration.
