LabelWatcher 360 This compact, stand-alone Intravis vision system provides 360-degree inspection of self-adhesive labels applied to plastic packaging. It reads one-dimensional and two-dimensional codes.
What’s new? A complete redesign of the LabelWatcher 360, including new lighting and new software that incorporates artificial intelligence techniques.
Benefits Faster speed, easier setup and reliable defect detection. The system’s Assistant 360 training wizard helps machine operators set up new products in a very short time, and guides them step by step through the reference creation. This eliminates time-consuming image collection of rotational positions. Intravis has developed the system’s lighting in-house to ensure the entire label is homogeneously illuminated, allowing the vision system to detect defects reliably, even at the label edges. The system can keep pace with the fastest labelers, at up to 10 parts per second. The LabelWatcher 360 is easy to integrate into the production line at any point after the labeling machine.
