KromaKing Metal Decorated Sheet Inspection System (Applied Vision)

For Metal Decorated Sheet applications Applied Vision has designed the KromaKing system to provide a flexibility of application that our customers demand. The system can be installed pre or post oven or UV curing station. The cameras are placed over the production line. A 15 inch LCD touch screen user interface allows the operator to easily program and monitor the system. Each sheet inspected is analyzed for Colour changes, pattern faults and miss-registration. The system is able to provide key colorimetric data such as Delta E, Delta Lab, Delta RGB, and Delta CMY to the operator.

Features:
• Digital Technology • Self Training • Remote Touch Screen User Interface
• On-Line Setup • Flexible Design • Process Feed back Helps Reduce Spoilage
• Digital IO / Alarms • Remote Diagnostics Monitoring & Control
• NEMA Rated Packaging • Solid State Lighting
• Automatic Image Intensity Adjustment for each Individual Part
• Vision Controller • Ease of Use • Intuitive • Simple Terminology

Mixed Label Inspection (MLI) System (Applied Vision)

The KromaKing MLI color vision system is specifically designed to detect mixed labels (rogue cans) on beverage can production lines and eliminate the likelihood of a mixed label occurrence.
The system is self-training and detects mixed labels automatically, running reliably without operator intervention. Applied Vision creates the industry's most advanced vision and automated inspection systems through application-specific expertise in imaging technology, software algorithms and user interface.

For world-class inspection capabilities that save you the utmost in time and cost, there's simply one solution. KromaKing. Only from Applied Vision, the global leader in machine vision for the food and beverage industry.


The KromaKing MLI system detects rogue cans in a specific production run, initially self-training and learning the label colors of a set run (typically 500 to 1,000) of cans on-line. The system then compares those labels to the cans in the production run.
While self-training, the system learns the normal variations of the production run, as cans may gradually vary in color or brightness during the course of a long run. It keeps up to date by continuously learning every good can that passes through its inspection station. This helps minimize false rejects caused by normal and acceptable process variation.
It then automatically detects label changes and starts the learning process. When a new label passes by the system, it automatically learns it and continues mixed label detection based on the new label. This allows the system to run reliably without any operator intervention.


And it rejects rogues while training – KromaKing MLI rejects cans from previous runs while it trains on new labels. Studies have shown that most rogue cans occur after a label change. This feature eliminates the risk of one getting past the system during a new label training phase.
Proven superior performance – During extensive evaluations by major can manufacturers, KromaKing MLI was found to have substantially lower false reject rates than the competition while still detecting all mixed labels.
Detects:
• Normal variations • Label changes
Features:
• Digital camera technology • Self-training • continuous learning
• Easy setup • reliable automatic operation • Minimal false reject rate
• Solid-state lighting • Available with or without LCD touch screen monitor
• Choice of NEMA 12/IPG61 or NEMA 4/IPG65 configurations

Get quick setup, 100% inspection at line speeds – and minimize costly
spoilage. Look into Applied Vision’s complete line of simply smart systems
