The ASTERIA is Viswill’s answer to the market demand for an “entry level” model allowing customers to experience the advantages of automated inspection, at an affordable investment cost.
The ASTERIA is indeed a more economical and more reliable alternative to manual inspection of your products by humans. At the same time, it offers higher productivity and a more constant quality compared to manual inspection. Particularly important is the elimination of variable inspection precision, a quality risk typically related to manual inspection.
ASTERIA – Technological Advantages
- 1-2-3 concept of inspection: Inspection made easy.
- Inspection of all shapes of tablets: un-, film-, Sugar-coated, embossed, printed white or colored tablets for all kinds of defects.
- “One pass - all defects” inspection or “One pass – One defect” inspection.
- High performance
--> Higher output : up to 120K tab/hour
--> Higher accuracy : 50µm accuracy for high contrast defects
- Stable transport for better yield and accuracy: The same stable patented transport system as our “high end” TVIS-EX2 combining vacuum with moving belts, which makes Viswill the real market leader in automated tablet inspection is implemented on the Asteria. Stability of transport is a requirement for accurate defect detection and to minimise false rejects. An advantage which becomes even more important when inspecting shaped tablets or tablets with a radius.
- LED lighting system, long-life time, low maintenance illumination generating lower heat.
- Color camera for improved sensitivity and accuracy.
- Compact design: Minimum space requirements to reduce room cost.
- Fast product changeover: Format parts are reduced to a minimum, no tools required to change from tablet.
- Fast and efficient cleaning: GMP design allows easy access to all parts, no tools required for removal and installation of parts
- Separate monitor screen displays each individual inspected tablet in real time
- 21 CFR part 11 Compliancy
