Expert vision engineers will be available on their stand to discuss the live demonstrations of high speed label and cap inspection, web inspection and plastics inspection including flash detection.
Also on display will be a wide assortment of cameras, lenses and lighting that are used to integrate optimised vision systems for packaging inspection. The systems will feature Dalsa's latest Vision Appliances, embedded vision computers with simultaneous support for multiple cameras. The Vision Appliances are running with either Sherlock or iNspect vision software. These both offer full vision functionality for vision inspection including Optical Character Recognition, 1D and 2D Barcode Detection, Pattern Tools for registration, colour analysis and all other tools required for a state-of-the-art packaging inspection system.
According to Grant Harpur, National Sales Manager, Bizerba Australia will be exhibiting at AUSPACK 2009 as part of their process to establish the company locally.
While Bizerba are well known in Europe and North America, they see AUSPACK 2009 as an opportunity to promote their weighing and labelling technologies to the Australasian industry.
Bizerba’s exhibit will include GLMI weigh labelling, CWE check weighing, and metal detection equipment. Their participation in AUSPACK 2009 is also an important opportunity to engage prospective customers, while raising awareness of the potential that new Bizerba products have to offer such as TTI (Time – Temperature Indication) and RFID labels.
AUSPACK 2009 is owned and presented by the Australian Packaging Machinery Association (APMA), Australia’s only national packaging and processing machinery organisation.
