Cameras Control Glass Ampoule Production

In this article, Alessandro Crescentinini, sales and spare parts manager at OCMI/Moderne Mecanique (Italy), presents the latest innovation from OCMI, a camera-based control system for the production of glass ampoules. The OCMI Optistem/2 camera control system is not to control and reject defective ampoules with out-of-tolerance values but to control and correct process faults during the production cycle and consequently, to reduce waste glass and improve machine efficiency.
