Tiny Trace Detection at High Speed

A major pharmaceutical manufacturer relies on Cognex In-Sight vision as part of their inspection machines designed to inspect small vials containing serum as well as detecting even the tiniest impurities within the serum. The In-Sight 5603 proved the only solution for this kind of sensitive high speed inspection. IPF Ingenieria is based in Barcelona in Spain and manufacture special machines destined for high profile industrial customers. Fresenius Kabi needed a special machine capable of tackling the challenge of inspecting small vials of serum. IPF provided them with a machine equipped with In-Sight vision systems from Cognex as recommended and integrated by Cognex partner, Edge Vision. In this application, In-Sight cameras were installed to inspect the levels of liquid in vials of serum as well as inspecting for impurities at a speed of 10,000 bottles an hour.
