Setting of the vision system

The vision system is enabled only when the machine operates in automatic mode. This happen because only in automatic mode is possible to have a perfect relation between inspection result, container position and correct spinning process. If only one of this characteristics are missing it is impossible to guarantee a correct container inspection.

The vision system's parameters is saved as a group of files on the PC flash disk. Each file is identified with the product name for which is dedicated. This kind of files name guarantee to well identify the parameters to be used to carry out the inspection.

When a product is selected on the HMI interface, the information is sent automatically to the vision system that loads the appropriate product and the machine is ready to start only when the vision system communicates to the PLC that it is ready to start.

A basic setup off all products known at the moment of the Knapp test are set by OPTREL technicians.
