Overview
Chinese cigarette manufacturers attach great importance to CV carton tear-tape defects and have installed various detection devices: simple micro-switch sensors that can only detect tape presence, not misalignment; post-forming carton vision systems that are expensive, prone to missed and false detections, and clearly inadequate for transparent tape; and image-based detectors whose light sources decay quickly, with low accuracy, insensitivity to film splices and troublesome daily maintenance.
Our carton intelligent digital tear-tape inspection effectively solves these everyday quality problems. It accurately inspects and rejects online for all tear-tape types, including transparent, printed-pattern, printed-text, white, laser hot-stamped silver, gold and opaque tape, while allowing operators to observe tape quality status at any time, with extremely convenient adjustment. The product is in mature use on G.D X1/X2, FOCKE350/700, ZB48 and B1 packaging machines.
Main Functions
The system performs four inspection jobs simultaneously.
Detects the presence of the carton tear tape
Detects tear-tape misalignment
Detects the presence of tear-tape splices
Detects the presence of film splices
Key Features
The system shares the intelligent digital platform of the soft-pack model.
Comprehensive, precise detection with accurate rejection
LED illumination with extra-long service life
DSP processing technology with fast computation and support for complex algorithms
Splice detection performed simultaneously with tape inspection, with no auxiliary equipment
Sensitivity adjustment range more than 10 times that of conventional detectors
Freely configurable inspection zone by drawing and moving digital windows
Auto-calibration for all tape types with no re-setup when changing tape
Touchscreen real-time display of status and operating data
Tap-to-adjust maintenance on the touchscreen
Easy installation on the machine's original fittings without modification
Detection Targets and Accuracy
The system accurately detects the presence and misalignment of all new tear-tape types on CV cartons, including transparent, white, laser hot-stamped silver, gold and opaque tape, as well as colored splices inside OPP film rolls and splices of all colors when cartons switch to new tape types.
Tape misalignment greater than2 mm for three consecutive cartons triggers a stop signal, and broken or missing tape is detected at less than 40 mm. The reject rate is at least 99 percent with a false detection and reject rate of no more than 0.1 percent, and process splices are rejected with counted shifting at a reject rate of 100 percent.
Compatibility
Excellent detector compatibility across the full range of G.D packaging machine models, including GDX1 and X2, ZB45, ZB47 and ZB48, C600, FOCKE350 and FOCKE700, and more.
