CES and TES – Visual Inspection Machines

The CES and TES Inspection machines are automatic, high-output visual inspection machines designed to inspect/sort either filled capsule products (CES) or tablets (TES). These machines combine computer image processing technology with in-line CCD cameras to inspect and sort capsules (or tablets) based on customer-set criteria.

Features of the CES and TES include:

• 100% inspection
• High-speed, highly accurate
• Automatic calibration
• Graphic touch-screen display panel
• Reject check device

Overview of the Visual Inspection Process:
Capsules (or tablets) feed in from the hopper above and feed down through the patented Qualicaps three-drum rectification system. The TES can process both round and non-round tablets. Rectified capsules (or tablets) are transferred to the inspection drum which turns intermittently at high speed. CCD cameras inspect all sides of the capsule/tablet. A slight stop of the inspection drum allows the capsules/tablets to turn so that all sides can be inspected. Defective capsules/tablets are discharged from the inspection drum. A graphic panel is equipped as a standard feature to allow the operator to view each row of capsules in real time.

Common defects that the CES and TES can detect include appearance defects such as cracks, foreign material, specks, scrapes, deformation or different colors.

Highly skilled engineers at Qualicaps will design your system according to your specific capsule or tablet needs.
