Rubber products are very flexible and broadly used in pharmaceutical industry. A variety of caps that used to seal medicine vials are made of rubber. We called them pharmaceutical closures. It was also known as stoppers, bungs and plungers, are an important part of the final packaging of pharmaceutical preparations, particularly those that are intended to be sterile. The most commonly used type of stopper is the elastomeric closure. An elastomer is any material that is able to resume its original shape when a deforming force is removed. The function of container-closures is to keep the contents of pharmaceutical preparations sterile by providing a barrier between the neck of a vial and the vial contents. Therefore, the manufacturers and users must have confidence in the quality control and validation of closures. It is an important part of pharmaceutical manufacturing that all stoppers are qualified enough to protect the medicines or liquids in the vials thus the inspection process becomes quite important and necessary.<\/p>\n

Rubber closures are an essential packaging for drug products, and they can be a source of particulate matter. The machine vision systems<\/a> can provide imaging-based automatic inspection and process the image data in applications of automatic inspection and process control. Cameras are used to capture the image data from the examined closure. We didn\u2019t say 100% vision inspection can detect visible defects but 99.99% is available. The defects are some flaws, damages, scratch, missing-injected, burr, deformation and other colors.<\/p>\n Sipotek have developed its machine vision techniques for over 16 years since 2002. Our automatic optical vision inspecting system is designed to inspection a variety of products ranging from electronic, plastic, rubber, magnetic metal industry. In pharmaceutical filed, the vial plungers are inspected strictly with an modular vision system. During inspection process, the system continuously conveys the plungers through a glass plate, undergo through the endoscope cameras after which the products are either accepted or rejected.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
