Date Code OCR Inspection System
Checks every date and lot code for presence and correctness.
Built around your product
A smart camera with strobed lighting reads printed or lasered date codes and compares them with the expected text. Missing, wrong or unreadable codes are rejected and counted.
A triggered camera with matched lighting captures each product. Software tools locate the code, read characters (OCR), compare them with the expected string (OCV), decode 1D and 2D symbols and measure print quality. Results drive a reject device and are logged for audit. Fixed-mount verifiers grade codes to ISO/IEC 15415 and 15416.
Key features
- Learns inkjet dot-matrix fonts
- Auto-updates expected data from the coder
- Reject statistics on the HMI
- Compact bracket for conveyor mounting
Process sequence
Trigger
A sensor fires the camera as each product reaches the field of view.
Illuminate
Strobed LED lighting freezes motion and controls reflections.
Analyse
Algorithms read, match and grade codes and check label position.
Decide
Pass or fail is issued within milliseconds.
Reject
An air blast or pusher removes failed products and confirms the reject.
