  • Publication number: 20240017978
    Abstract: Containers housed with random angular orientation of their thread in a first plurality of seats present circumferentially in a first rotatable carousel, caps are housed with random angular orientation of their thread in a second plurality of scats present circumferentially in a second rotatable carousel, ae current image is acquired of the thread of the container in transit through a first framing field and a current image of the thread of the cap in transit through a second framing field, a current value is calculated of the angular position of the thread of the cap in transit through the second framing field and a current value of the angular position of the thread of the container in transit through the first framing field by comparing their current image with an optical reconstruction thereof preliminarily learned, and the screwing operation is programmed with the calculated value of the current angular position.

  • Publication number: 20220297949
    Abstract: A device and a process for the orientation of containers with a carousel rotating about a vertical axis with a circumferential plurality of rotating seats imparting a rotation to each container causing a rotation-revolution. A recording device with illuminator recording multiple sequential images of the container during rotation-revolution. A controller adapted learn the lateral surface of said container in a number of positions. Learning each of the N positions said container is positioned with a random initial orientation, and during rotation a number of images are recorded. The controller acquires one current image, processes a similarity function representing the similarity between each current image and the images recorded in the same position in said learning step, calculates the similarity functions and the angle corresponding to the maximum value of this sum is used for the orientation of said container.

  • Patent number: 10648923
    Abstract: A continuous quality control device for containers in a roto-revolutionary movement consists of making said containers pass in front of lighting means, capturing by at least one single sequential image capturing device each of said containers in rotation, obtaining an optical reconstruction of said containers and controlling their quality according to said optical reconstruction, characterised in that said lighting means is equipped with stroboscopic control means that allows the illumination of said containers in counterphase from at least two different angles of incidence and the capturing of at least two overlapping images in the same angular rotation position of said container in its own housing with respect to said image capturing device.
