Patent

CA 2504053

This application relates to an apparatus and method for automated inspection of formed metal containers. More specifically, it pertains to the use of machine vision systems to identify and correlate manufacturing defects occurring in formed food and beverage containers to specific manufacturing paths or sources of origin (e.g., body makers) used in the container forming process. The disclosed invention is enabled by the placement of a machine- readable code on specific portions of the can body during the forming process and the use of illumination exposure techniques.

Cette demande concerne un appareil et un procédé de contrôle automatisé de contenants métalliques formés. Elle concerne plus particulièrement l'utilisation de systèmes de vision artificielle pour déceler des vices de fabrication dans des contenants formés pour aliments ou boissons, et corréler ces vices de fabrication à des trajectoires de fabrication ou des sources spécifiques (p. ex. machines à former le corps) utilisées dans le processus de formation des contenants. Le procédé de l'invention est mis en oeuvre par le placement d'un code lisible par une machine sur des parties spécifiques du corps de la boîte métallique au cours du processus de formation, et par l'utilisation de techniques d'exposition à la lumière.
