The VLS system is engineered for precise vial labeling and accurate verification of colored caps. At the machine infeed, the operator loads a dedicated tray with unprinted vials. These vials are then conveyed into the system, where a high-resolution camera verifies the cap color, and an integrated labeling unit applies a label to each product. Labels are laser-printed and inspected by a high-resolution vision system; any non-compliant labels are automatically rejected before application.
Vials with missing caps or unsuccessful label application are diverted to a dedicated rejection bin, while compliant products proceed to the outfeed section, where they are neatly stacked into trays for further handling.
Highlights:
- Output up to 100 vials/min: With consistent precision and quality.
- Compact Footprint: Extremely compact structure fits perfectly even in space-constrained environments.
- Quick Setup: Minimal format parts enable fast and easy device configuration.
- Mobile Option: Available in a mobile design for flexible deployment.
- Unified HMI: All device functions are intuitively managed through a single, user-friendly touchscreen interface, simplifying operation and reducing training time.
- Printing: Equipped with a laser printer (Domino or equivalent) for high-quality marking.
- Print Verification: Utilizes OCR/OCV and pattern matching to ensure all printed data is accurate, legible, and compliant.
- Cap verification: Verification of presence and color.
- Automated Rejection System: Features a smart rejection mechanism with integrated sensors to confirm successful removal of products with non-compliant caps or missing labels.
- Customizable outfeed: Support for filling into dedicated trays for downstream processes.
- Modular Software Architecture: Ensures robust operation in accordance with GxP and also reduces production line downtime required for validation.
- Flexible Communication Interface: Seamlessly connects with recipe systems, MES, SAP, and other higher-level IT infrastructures.
