HC-A-V Checkweigher

A quality control solution combining checkweighing technology with visual inspection, the HC-A-V Checkweigher can be used for a broad array of consumer packaged goods, including food & beverage items.

The system adds high-resolution camera inspection to WIPOTEC’s HC-A Checkweigher. Like all WIPOTEC checkweighers, the HC-A features a customer-specified high-tech Electro-Magnetic Force Restoration (EMFR) weigh cell, a differentiating engineering design that guarantees precise weighing results. The HC-A-V builds upon this with a vision control system that checks items from both above and below. The result is a bevy of additional benefits, including cover film verification, sell-by date confirmation, and 1D/2D barcode examination.

The HC-A-V Checkweigher can handle up to 200 items per minute, and is as versatile as it is exacting: WIPOTEC can customize the machine’s various configurations to meet unique customer and product requirements. For seamless product transport, the HC-A-V Checkweigher uses NT30 conveyor belts with knife-edge and comfortable belt width. WIPOTEC servomotors ensure consistent speed, and digital light curtains provide reliable product identification.

For simplicity’s sake, the unit offers a common software interface with consolidated, menu-driven control over its two complementary quality assurance functions, and allows for product-specific inspection parameters and KPI statistics. Images of any rejected items are archived for reporting and troubleshooting.
