Our Toothbrush Inspection System automates the inspection process, eliminating manual inspection errors. By automating this process, the system eradicates the errors associated with manual packing and inspection methods. Operating at an impressive rate of 45 parts per minute, it ensures swift and accurate scrutiny of toothbrush packs with unmatched efficiency.

Here’s how it works: The operator loads the packs onto the conveyor, initiating the inspection process. As each pack advances, the system’s high-resolution cameras capture images from top and bottom views, providing comprehensive coverage for analysis.

These images are then processed using custom image processing algorithms, specially designed to discern between acceptable (OK) and defective (Not OK) parts. Any identified defects trigger the system to redirect the flawed packs to a designated rejection bin. Meanwhile, the accepted parts seamlessly proceed to the end of the line, accumulating in a designated good bin.

In existing vision systems, customers were unable to detect the brush colours over the reflecting packs. Whereas our customised software algorithms not only detect the brush colours but also ensure 34+ colour sequencing across various models.

Benefits

  • Multiple Setups for Different Packs: The machine supports the configuration of multiple setups, allowing for seamless changeover to different models of Packs.
  • High Colour Sensitivity: The Algorithm is capable of distinguishing small colour differences and able to check colour sequence.
  • Multi-Level Access: The machine includes a multi-level login feature that provides authorised personnel with access to machine settings and all inspection batch reports. 
  • Automatic Report Generation and Logging: The machine automates the generation of inspection reports, allowing users to review the results.

Features :

  • Inspection Speed: The machine is designed to inspect and process up to 45 parts per minute, with the actual speed varying based on the size of the Packs. 
  • Configurable Image Processing Functions & Parameters: Users can customise the inspection parameters to optimise the machine’s image processing capabilities according to their specific requirements.
  • Report Generation: The machine offers report generation capabilities in various formats, including Excel and PDF.
