发明名称 Laser inspection system and methods
摘要 Systems and methods for inspecting the integrity of a sealed package are described. A system can include an inspection station and a control unit. The inspection station can include a scanning platform, a first scanner, and a second scanner. The first scanner can measure a first distance from the first scanner to the seal and the second scanner can measure a second distance from second scanner to the seal. The control unit can move the package to a first station or a second station based on the difference between a gap distance and combined first distance and second distance. A method of inspecting the integrity of a seal using any of the embodiments of the inspection system are described.

主权项 1. A system for determining integrity of a package with a seal, wherein an integral seal has a predetermined thickness, the system comprising: an inspection station operatively coupled to a transport module, the inspection station comprising a scanning platform adapted to receive the package supplied by the transport module,a first scanner positioned at a first location with respect to the seal, anda second scanner positioned at a second location with respect to the seal, the second location being opposite to the first location, the first scanner and second scanner separated by a gap distance; and a control unit operatively coupled to the inspection station, wherein the first scanner is adapted to measure a first distance from the first scanner to the seal and the second scanner is adapted to measure a second distance from second scanner to the seal, the control unit is adapted to move the package to a first station if the difference between the gap distance and combined first distance and second distance equals the predetermined thickness of the integral seal, and the control unit is adapted to move the package to a second station if the difference between the gap distance and combined first distance and second distance is greater than the predetermined thickness of the integral seal.
