Sectors such as the pharmaceutical and food industries in particular rely on blisters for packaging their sensitive products. Whether medication or chocolate confectionery – intact packaging of high quality is one of the prerequisites for presenting a product successfully. With the camera system Polyphem wt, Laetus offers a high-quality solution for comprehensive inline quality control on blister machines. Regular advancements, as for instance the module Polyphem wt 3D for three-dimensional inspection, shall enable meeting all individual process requirements as well as new security standards.

Polyphem wt provides a variety of control options for blister packaging that is filled with dragees and the like. Beyond merely checking the presence, the system reliably detects errors in colour, form, dimension and position of the contents. It also recognizes contaminations, damages or overfilled pockets.

A GAMP-compliant industrial computer with a touchscreen and a lighting unit with one or more integrated cameras build the basic structure of Polyphem wt. Various optional modules adapt the system to customer-specific process requirements. Polyphem wt 3D uses stereoscopy to evaluate height and colour and thus detects double or broken content. Polyphem wt Pro Twin+ allows for controlling blisters successively from above and below, before and after sealing. Both modules can be combined with each other.

Polyphem wt inspects objects of the most diverse materials lying in blisters for errors and therefore ensures that faulty objects are reliably discharged from the production process. The producer configures the modularly expandable system directly according to individual customer requirements and without additional programming effort.
