Antares Vision Group will showcase a variety of its latest inspection equipment at INTERPHEX Booth 2821. The company also will emphasize its recently launched DIAMIND, a series of interconnected software and hardware systems providing physical products with the digital identities necessary to meet traceability mandates and streamline production and supply chain operations.
 
Among the DIAMIND Line solutions showcased will be an automatic visual inspection machine for prefilled syringes. Antares Vision Group’s Visual Rotating Inspection (VRI) unit can handle up to 400 pieces per minute. The module can process SVP glass and plastic prefilled syringes up to 24mm in diameter and inspect liquids with a wide range of viscosities. An additional camera mounted on a secondary carousel yields 100% inspection of the syringe surface and smooth single-point handling minimizes the risk of product breakages and scratches.
 
The company will also showcase a module from its Visual Rotating Inspection (VRI) series capable of inspecting up to 400 liquid-filled glass containers per minute. The machine combines particle and cosmetic detection with technology-driven closure integrity verification at an exceptionally rapid production pace. The VRI unit can inspect liquids in a wide variety of viscosities, including water-like, oily, suspension, gel, emulsion, lyophilized, and powder products. Vials are also inspected for cosmetic defects such as crimping quality, flip-off color, neck-shoulder sidewalls, and stopper position. Molded glass and plastic containers also can be inspected.
 
Also on display will be its CT, which automatically inspects vials and cartridges at speeds up to 200 pieces per minute. The unit is designed for accurate cosmetic and particle detection of small-volume containers up to 36mm in diameter. The CT features three stations for particle inspection equipped with both backlight and bottom light, and is configurable for reflecting and non-reflecting particles. Optional inspection stations include tip/cap and vial sealing, as well as CCIT-high voltage leak detection.
