The German machine vision expert Bi-Ber has been supplying camera systems for confectionery for more than 25 years now and has immense experience in this special industry. The most important application is a range of systems for optical empty mould check based on colour image processing. The systems are installed directly above the conveyor and, working at line speed, check whether the moulds contain product residues, fragments or splashes. The series currently comprises four options for varying line layouts, each of which can be designed for different mould widths, materials and colours. In addition, customer-specific adaptations and tailored inspection systems are possible. Cameras, lighting and a touch panel PC are integrated in a single or two separate stainless-steel cabinets, depending on the model. Thus, there are suitable solutions for retrofitting in existing production lines, too. The system’s software is permanently enhanced with new functions. Last improvements were the easier teach-in of similar moulds by copying entire parameter sets, an automatic function for correct mould position detection as well as an archive function for browsing the most recent images with negative results. In addition, the available interfaces have been supplemented by ProfiNet, so that more detailed test results such as individual alveolar results or error clusters can be transferred to the machine control even at low cycle times.
