Cap Removal AI Automatic Sorting Machine (Equipped with HALCON DL + Robot!)
AI Automatic Sorting Machine for Glass Bottle Caps (with AI Image Processing + Robot Equipped!)
It is a device that picks up caps attached to glass bottles using a combination of a vision system (equipped with AI) and a conveyor tracking function with robots.
Using the vision system HALCON (image processing with AI functionality), we automatically recognize caps from cullet (broken glass fragments from bottles) and pick them using the conveyor tracking function of a SCARA robot. We will use a picking vacuum conveyor to suction the caps. Currently, caps are identified by human eyes and manually removed, but by introducing a robotic system, we can reduce labor costs and achieve stable cap removal! This will also lead to improved quality of the cullet.

Applications/Examples of results
We have established a development and implementation plan in-house, and the prototype is complete!! The introduction of an AI (artificial intelligence) image processing automatic sorting machine will undoubtedly contribute to stable quality improvement.
Detailed information
-
This is a cap mixed in with the pellets. The caps come in various shapes and colors. The caps that flow on the conveyor will be evaluated for quality using an AI-equipped image processing camera, and extracted by a robot. As you can see, when a white cap comes through, it is difficult for the human eye to distinguish it consistently, but with AI-equipped image processing, it can be identified and extracted very reliably.
Company information
In the Vision & Robot System Development Department, we develop vision systems for robotic systems and robotic systems themselves. We are involved in the development of optical sorting machines for recycling companies, automotive parts manufacturers, and food manufacturers, as well as the development of appearance inspection systems for automotive parts manufacturers. Our areas of expertise include optical automatic sorting machines, high-speed image processing, AI (deep learning) image processing, appearance inspection of metal parts, and PLC control design. We also develop and design automatic sorting inspection equipment using robots from scratch. For customers considering factory equipment automation, we provide automatic sorting machines, control panel design for equipment, robot implementation, and vision system implementation. 1. We mainly use KEYENCE, HALCON, and HALCON DL for image processing. We also support other image processing solutions, including MERLIC. 2. For PLCs, we primarily use KEYENCE and Mitsubishi Electric products (we also handle other manufacturers' PLCs). 3. We use robots from DENSO WAVE, Mitsubishi Electric, FANUC, and Yamaha Motor. 4. For cameras, we use color/monochrome area cameras and line scan cameras, including Basler cameras, JAI UV cameras, JAI prism spectroscopic cameras, and KEYENCE cameras.
