Overview
For brand development and competitiveness, cigarette manufacturers enforce strict quality control, and the presence and alignment of the soft-pack tear tape is a key quality indicator. Existing tear-tape detection products on the market, whether transmissive, photoelectric-sensor, capacitive or image-based, tend to falsely reject or fail to reject at high machine speeds, and are inconvenient to adjust, often failing to properly solve tear-tape quality problems.
Our soft-pack intelligent digital tear-tape inspection fully meets the strict quality demands of cigarette manufacturers. 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 tear-tape quality status during production at any time. Adjustment is extremely convenient: a single tap completes the setup. The product is in mature use on G.D X1/X2 and FOCKE packaging machines, fully resolving tear-tape quality problems in production.
Main Functions
The system performs four inspection jobs simultaneously.
Detects the presence of the soft-pack tear tape
Detects tear-tape misalignment
Detects the presence of tear-tape splices
Detects the presence of film splices
Key Features
The system is designed for stability, sensitivity and ease of use.
Comprehensive, precise detection with accurate rejection
LED illumination with extra-long service life
DSP processing technology with fast computation and strong processing capability that supports complex algorithms
Image-based splice detection performed simultaneously with tape inspection, with no additional auxiliary equipment
Sensitivity adjustment range more than 10 times that of conventional tear-tape detectors
Freely configurable tape-misalignment inspection zone by drawing and moving digital windows on the inspection image
Auto-calibration that automatically recognizes, calibrates and adjusts for all tape types used in production, with no re-setup when changing tape
Built-in touchscreen showing real-time inspection status and operating data
All adjustments completed with a tap on the touchscreen
Easy installation using the machine's original fittings, with no modifications
Detection Targets and Accuracy
The system accurately detects the presence and misalignment of all new tear-tape types on CH soft packs, including transparent, white, laser hot-stamped silver, gold and opaque tape. It accurately detects colored splices inside OPP film rolls and splices of all colors when CH soft packs switch to new tape types.
Tape misalignment greater than2 mm for three consecutive packs triggers a stop signal. 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 detected and rejected with counted shifting at a reject rate of 100 percent.
