Detecting labels using a UV light source
The MVS-PM-R vision sensor detects the presence of labels by using LED lighting with a UV light source to make labels glow blue if a fluorescent component is present.
The blue glow from the fluorescent component means white labels that look the same as white backgrounds can be detected.
Model: Color pattern matching camera MVS-PM-R Series
Presence of label on back side and print inspection of expiration date
MVS-PM-R of the pattern matching camera checks the presence of the back side label, and inspects the expiration date on the label with the OCR camera MVS-OCR2.
