What it does
LIO places a camera and dedicated lighting close to the ink-jet marking station, so every container can be inspected while it travels on the conveyor. The system verifies that the lot code is present and reads it against the active production recipe before the product continues downstream.
In the line
The station can be connected to the ink marker to check marking compliance and to an ejection system to remove faulty containers. Built in stainless steel, it lets operators manage production formats, stored recipes and settings from an intuitive touchscreen.
What it checks
- Ink-jet lot-code presence after the marking phase.
- Automatic reading of the printed lot code against the selected format or recipe.
- Marking compliance through integration with the ink coder.
- Label and code inspection points that require additional camera views.
Inspection flow
- The active container format is selected and the stored code settings are loaded automatically.
- The camera and light system inspect the moving container near the marking station.
- The system verifies code presence and readability against the recipe.
- Non-compliant containers are sent to the connected rejector, while accepted containers continue down the conveyor.
Options
- Push rejector Push rejector for removing non-compliant containers from the conveyor.
- Remote management Networked remote access for online help and system support.
- Multi-camera Add up to five cameras when the application needs broader coverage around the container.
LIO vs LBI
LIO is the lot-code, label and code-reading station used around the marking or labelling area. LBI extends inspection to a full 360° wrap of the container when complete circumferential verification of the decoration is required.
