Mettler-Toledo's CI-Vision’s V6300 vision inspection system combines thorough product inspection with maximum production throughput and convenient installation. It is flexible, adapting its physical structure, number of cameras and lights to meet the specific needs of each production line it is installed on.

The V6300 provides a machine vision solution that supports up to five cameras and powerful software that can perform multiple inspections of a target package simultaneously—for ID/OD, ovality, gross formation defects, label positioning, label quality, closure application, fill level, 1D and 2D barcodes, graphical presence and quality, and the presence and verification of alphanumeric codes.

The V6300 adapts to higher speeds and product changeovers to ensure that 100% of the products leaving a facility have been inspected for defects. The V6300 can be programmed to send automatic shutdown signals to the production line after a set number of consecutive or patterned failures, reducing the amount of wasted material.

The V6300 runs on CI-Vision’s CIVCore® Software, which analyzes high-resolution images at speeds of up to 1,000 parts/min (ppm). The intuitive touchscreen menu enables rapid product changeovers—four touches of the screen accomplish the preprogrammed changes of lights and cameras to inspect new parts. The software’s architecture enables training new parts quickly and adding new inspections without sacrificing production time. The software stores all trained parts for easy retrieval, and stores images of rejected items for later review. A statistics suite allows manufacturers to track failure rates and identify process weaknesses.

The V6300 is available in two configurations: a kit configuration, including the control terminal, lights, lenses, cameras and product tracking sensor suite, or the V6300 Rapid Fit™, which includes the Rapid Fit frame system, allowing for quick installation around the production line. The Rapid Fit frame bars can be cut to any length and quickly assembled, and adjustable camera mounts simplify adjustment for different package sizes. The around-the-line design means that manufacturers need not reconfigure their existing production line to install the V6300, and the installation process can take as little as an hour. Custom solutions are available for unique line configurations in order to maximize the V6300’s inspection efficiency and accuracy.
