Large Thermoformed Machine Vision System
"Lightbox, on steroids"
Impetus to Invent
What do you do when you have large thermoformed parts with cutouts where the cutout removal remnant is missed? We think you should call Invent Automation to make you a machine vision system like this custom beauty that makes it easy and automatic to identify those pesky remnants. Here, we also implemented a barcode system integrated with their ERP and automatic label printing. Let us invent automation that automatically inspects, detects, and protects your reputation and bottom line.
Problem Solved
Cutout remnants automatically are detected, and operators notified if any are missed and then can be removed.
Lessons Learned
By using IR lights your operators won’t even notice when we flash the backlight.
What Was Unique
Large light boxes can be tricky to move around so we make ours in two and bolt them together onsite.
What Was Challenging
Selecting the proper top surface and making a seamless line between the two halves is a trick we have learned over the years.
