“We are very excited to be exhibiting this label inspection technology at Pack Expo Last Vegas,” says Keri Klein, Product Line Manager, Vision Inspection, Mettler-Toledo. “The 100% automated label inspection portfolio is fully flexible and offers solutions that can easily be integrated into existing production lines, either as installation kits, standalone systems or combined with other Mettler-Toledo product inspection devices, such as checkweighers, metal detectors or x-ray systems. We are looking forward to demonstrating to new and existing customers how easy it is to replace manual spot checks with 100% label inspection. All help to reduce rework, recall risks and retailer fines.”
The offering includes advanced Mettler-Toledo smart cameras to inspect oriented products from the side and top. This smart line scan camera effectively inspects labels or prints on the underside of products and offers a 360-degree inspection head for checking round objects. The cameras can be mixed and matched to suit any production need and can also be used to inspect caps and lids. The software is particularly easy to use, featuring a dedicated tool set for label inspection that helps with product set-up. Additionally, it offers Software Tooltips that are inspection tools to intuitively guide operators through the image processing settings such as lights, shutter or focus to maximize image quality. The technology can be retrofitted onto existing Mettler-Toledo equipment, offering considerable space savings.
