Using machine vision to provide 100% on line testing for MDI production, machines that detect and segregate products with non-spraying and continuous spraying valves work at 120 units/min.

ABP's Automation Division, working in conjunction with a leading MDI manufacturer, have developed and supplied systems using machine vision to provide 100% on line testing for MDI production The machines, which detect and segregate products with non-spraying and continuous spraying valves, operate at rates of up to 120 units per minute

The equipment, which was designed, built and installed by ABP, resulted from an extensive concept review study to determine available technologies.

This was followed by the construction and testing of a prototype system utilising the selected machine vision solution.

Once the concept was approved production machines were designed and built, the first of which has been in service since 1999.

This proven technology is now commercially available to other manufacturers of MDIs.

ABP are a UK based supplier of custom designed automation systems, specialising in automated assembly test and inspection equipment for the medical device and automotive industries.

This application is one example of how ABP's collaborative approach to system development offers their clients long term, market leading, advantages.
