A HMS/Anybus case study
VISUAL INSPECTION SYSTEMS
Solution: Gateway Solutions
Company: SPAMI/Stevanato
Anybus® X-gateways provide a link between smart cameras with Ethernet connections and Siemens PLCs on a Profibus network
Production of glass containers for pharmaceutical use
SPAMI, a company forming part of the Stevanato Group, has developed an inspection system to improve the quality of glassware. It uses quality control technologies to screen the glass tubing on arrival at the plant as well as the final product. The system includes a visual inspection system (NoVIS), a system for continuous temperature measurement, and also a digital image processing system, called CLEANER, which is able to detect and remove defects in the glass as small as a few microns in the final product. The fully integrated process machinery provides measurement of glass tube diameter, wall thickness, and temperature using infrared pyrometers (Pyrometer Annealing control) for total quality control, and motorised burners provide close control of their positioning.
