However, this requires positioning the bottle body so that the side with the label is outward, and this treatment is very difficult for automatic packaging

[new materials for sand prevention and control such as China Packaging News have also solved the difficulties faced by the Qinghai Tibet Railway] a large beverage manufacturer uses transparent packaging boxes to pack its bottled drinks in order to show its characteristic trademark labels to customers. However, this requires positioning the bottle body so that the side with the label is outward, and this treatment is very difficult for automatic packaging

davidlangen, electrical engineer of afanordale company, said: it is not difficult to locate the direction of the bottle at the transmission speed of 30 or 60 bottles per minute, but in this application, the speed that beverage manufacturers need to achieve is 450 bottles per minute

afanordale, a leading packing machine manufacturer, has evaluated all sensors manufactured by leading companies, but each sensor has more or less label type recognition problems. Sergiudinescu, an electrical engineer in charge of machine development at nordale, said: for example, a sensor can be used for red labels, but it does not work for black or blue labels. The other sensor can be used for red and blue labels, but not for black labels Then we tried Cognex checker3g1 and found that the sensor can read all types of labels without any difficulty

the packing machine can rotate 14 bottles at the same time to position their directions. At the same time, 14 connex checker3g1 visual sensors are responsible for checking the labels of each bottle. The checker vision sensor will then send a signal when it sees the letter indicating that the label is in the correct position. Its leader is the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, which will immediately stop the rotation of the corresponding bottle. A cylinder in the deflector will then lift the bottle off the conveyor belt

in the process of machine verification, the orienteer showed the ability to locate the label within the static point/-14%, which fully met the requirements of the beverage bottle manufacturer/-30%. The success rate of positioning on the drive belt is 99.9%

afanordale engineers, after solving the key visual problems, designed the proposed 3.4 million ton/year coal gasification unit, 2 million ton/year methanol unit, 700000 ton/year methanol to olefin unit, 730000 ton/year polyolefin unit and utility off-site facilities of the project, which can meet the requirements of beverage manufacturers with a perfect packing machine system. Davidlangen said: at present, beverage manufacturers have abandoned the use of packaging boxes with windows because they have not found a satisfactory way to solve the problem of high-speed bottle orientation. This new machine combines the latest visual sensor technology with innovative mechanical solutions to solve this problem for the first time. The machine can not only meet the speed requirements of beverage manufacturers of 450 bottles per minute, but also can be used for the speed of 600 bottles per minute after testing. In both cases, the visual sensor can correctly adjust each bottle body, unless there is deformation in the bottle body sleeve molding process with an experienced expert team and deep technical accumulation tube
