RNA alongside camera specialists Machine Vision Technology has developed a tablet inspection system to inspect and sort tablets up to and over 1000 parts per minute.
Benefits
- Prevents accidental product mixing
- Prevents wrongly marked tablets reaching customers
- Prevents shipping of faulty tablets to customers
All tablet shapes and sizes can be catered for with a variety of check configurations and data logging included in the package.
We can implement Quality Control of surface defects such as cracks and chips. For transparent capsules, or soft gel type, we can also check for bubbles and contamination. We have the ability to confirm the presence of logos and dosage values, including the presence and position of drug release holes. All this prevents accidental product mixing, or incorrectly marked or faulty product reaching your customer.
