The SACMI D.R.I.V.A. revolution

With D.R.I.V.A. (Drive and Recognise through Intelligent Vision Algorithms), SACMI projects inspection into the new era of Computer Vision.

D.R.I.V.A. is a M2M device that allows a non-expert operator to manage the whole line: preform loader system, orientator, PVS and soft drop.
By means of a dedicated camera, the CVs20-AI software recognises and measures the preform to automatically adjust the position of both the preform orienter and the PVS10L.

With this innovation, SACMI confirms that it is the forerunner of the new approach to artificial vision systems for industry, where the "simple" inspection of finished products evolves towards the ability to recognise different objects, with machines capable of "making functional decisions" for more effective management of the production process.

PVS10L PREFORM VISION SYSTEM AND AUTONOMOUS SIZE CHANGEOVER

The PVS10L is the new offline inspection and sorting machine for PET preforms. The PVS10L detects any kind of defect in the preform and interacts with the line preventing human error and reducing the time of changeover: less than one minute to inspect a new preform having different colour, diameters and length.

• New CVs20-AI software
• New patent D.R.I.V.A. system (Drive and Recognize through Intelligent Vision Algorithms) for a fast and fully automated format changeover
• 11 cameras to control the whole preform
• Linear machine: transfer of the preforms is made through conveyor belts and vacuum
