: SICK Solutions Position polling Referencing and position polling in Oystar Hassia packaging machines Innovation NO 08 Inductive sensors with the extra helping of precision cesses are the tasks that the IME12s carry out on the molding, filling, and closing machines for containers. For instance, filling of the cups can start only when the IME12s report the correct position of the catch basin below the portioning unit. If the set of machines undergo cleaning, the basin has to traverse into different positions according to the cleaning sequence – which is indicated to the controller by...

: Applications Label identification Detection of labels on kegs Carlsberg drinks to Inspector Innovation NO 11 of the keg in the measuring field, image recording and image evaluation ensue. In this process, Inspector compares the patterns that can be distinguished unambiguously via the pixel sum with the taught-in templates, thus carrying out the inspection for presence of the label. In case of a ‘not o.k.’ signal by Inspector, e.g. when the label is missing entirely or partially, an ejection process for the keg in question is activated via the facility’s automation system. As efficient as...
