Seidenader to Showcase Inspection and Serialization Capabilities at ACHEMA

At ACHEMA 2012, Seidenader Maschinenbau GmbH will showcase a new inspection station that measures and evaluates stress birefringence in containers, which can help identify specific prestages of crack formation, the company reports. The station will be integrated into a Seidenader MS inspection machine for vials with a throughput of up to 24,000 containers/hour. Another system will be shown for inspecting up to 36,000 syringes per hour for particles or cosmetic defects. Feeding and orientation of the syringes is provided by a Seidenader SyWalker.

Finding More With Inspection

Using digital camera-based machine vision, packagers can move from decoding print and bar codes to other package and product inspection tasks.
Matrix-style or 2-D codes such as DataMatrix are increasingly favored as codes that contain more data in a smaller space compared to linear bar codes, as regulations require more information in a bar code.
Camera-based inspection systems that capture digital photos for analysis are typically required for reading these codes for content and legibility.
