Pharmaceutical Company uses Cognex Insight Smart Camera to guide 5 Axis codian (Mitsubishi) Robot ASC in collaboration with Ensign Laboratories have worked together on building a robot cell for automatic bottle sorting and placement. Traditional mechanical bottle sorting systems are large and require expensive change parts and hours of adjustment when moving from one size bottle to another tells Ensigns Engineering Manager Rod Sutherland. “We were looking for an automated option to allow our operators to complete a quick changeover between products from one shaped & size bottle to another. We partnered with ASC for its experience in machine vision, robotics and overall electrical automation skills. Codian was selected as a robot vendor as it allowed us to add a 5th axis and for us to utilize Mitsubishi servo motors and robot controller. The project was a great success and we look forward to working with ASC on projects in the future.”

Inspection of Carton Flaps utilising Cognex Machine Vision Equipment Automation Systems & Controls provided the technical support and engineering know-how to see this project through from inception to completion. Design, installation, commissioning and training were handled by ASC with professionalism and proficiency. The teams’ knowledge in regard to Cognex Machine Vision and how to maximise results with high-end industrial equipment was impressive. I had the pleasure of dealing with ASC team members Nick Kovess, Ashan Weerasena and Greg Wiggins throughout the process. I found the technical support from these individuals as an important building block to the Projects success. Communication and feedback was on time and insightful. The results have increased efficiency on the line and have helped prevent roadblocks within production and final distribution.
Ian Manley, National IT Manager of FDM, confirms the success of a new ASC installation at FDM Eastern Creek. The application: Bar Code Scanner Tunnel 5 Sided Inspection for Barcode Labels Previously, the Laser based system was labour intensive due to its’ inaccuracy. Failed reads then went to a Manual sorting system. The ASC / Cognex solution upgraded the hardware from redundant Laser to modern Camera Technology. ASC provided a more ergonomic design footprint whilst retaining a significant portion of the original framework. This resulted in cost savings and better utilisation of essential warehousing floor space. ASC designed a Cognex featured integration that was seamless with Metter Toledo Weight Scaler and 3D Dimensioner. Automation Systems & Controls Cognex solution future proofed for FDM with the inclusion of image saving and 2D scanning Post testing results saw no rejected reads with an over 99% read rate, equating to a significant 3% read rate improvement.
