  • Publication number: 20060008743
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for marking a laminated film material comprising at least a metal film and a plastic film material affixed to it by means of an adhesive. To ensure that the marking of the film withstands any subsequent process steps, such as sterilization of the packaging, and is visually appealing, it is envisaged that the plastic film material be removed and/or visibly changed in structure by laser.

  • Patent number: 6757420
    Abstract: The invention is concerned with the problem of providing an automatic inspection device, with which it is possible to determine, with little effort and without contact, whether packages, particularly sealed blister packages consisting of a blister container and a cover film, are free of defects. This problem is solved by the use of at least two light sources, which are arranged at a certain distance from one another and each emit a light bundle at a predetermined wavelength range, whereby the emission maxima of the two light sources are offset in relation to one another. The light sources are arranged such that the packages are vertically illuminated. The light reflected by the packages is recorded by a CCD camera and the digital images are stored in a computer, so that they are available in a computer-supported image-processing and documentation system.

  • Patent number: 6627124
    Abstract: The invention tackles the problem of improving the production process for contact lenses further, so that the production costs for contact lenses can be reduced further and the production capacities can be increased. To this end, provision is made for the two mould halves, which together form the mould for producing a contact lens, to be fixed to each other and/or detachably connected to each other by means of individual half-mould guide. In conjunction with a cyclic production process, a high degree of automation can be achieved in this way.

  • Patent number: 6474465
    Abstract: The invention relates to a blister package for an optical lens and is concerned with the problem of improving the blister package in such a way that the base parts can be stacked and the work involved in sorting can be substantially reduced. This is achieved by perfecting spacing elements and joining several base parts to one unit (FIG. 2).
