ATI 1000 Automatic Tablet, Caplet, Capsule Inspection System

wpe6.jpg (21374 bytes)The M.W. Technologies ATI 1000 is an automatic machine to inspect the entire surface of plain or coated tablets, caplets, hard gelatin capsules, and two-piece capsules.

Camera stations inspect the flat surfaces of tablets/capsules and/or the cylindrical part of the capsules. Additional camera stations can be added for inspection of the areas around the tablet perimeter (band) or the areas around the capsule.

 Mode of Operation

The products are fed from the product hopper to a centrifugal orientation system. At a transfer point the products are conveyed on either a single vacuum transfer belt and/or a double transfer feed belt for applications with many variations of shapes and sizes. Both feed systems guarantee that product of various shapes and capsules are always presented to the cameras in a reproducible position. Cameras are positioned to inspect both sides of the product simultaneously. Acceptable product is typically blown off while rejected product is conveyed to a discharge chute. This safety feature ensures that no rejected product ever getting mixed. It also protects good in the event of a vision system or sensor failure by rejecting all products.
