Less Waste and Increased Production Output
A pharmaceutical manufacturer’s vision system was incorrectly rejecting products on a conveyor belt. Bondy investigated the application and found that reflections from the light-coloured belt were interfering with the sensors.
Bondy developed a black custom belt to the customer’s specifications. The new belt eliminated false rejections and stabilised production flow.
Challenge
Reflections from the conveyor belt triggered the vision system, causing products without defects to be rejected.
Solution
Bondy analysed the sensor’s optical characteristics and manufactured a black belt with a surface treatment that absorbed light rather than reflecting it.
The belt was tested and approved in production to confirm its performance in the application.
Result
False detections caused by belt reflections were eliminated. Fewer rejected products reduced waste and operating costs, while a more stable production flow increased output.
Technical troubleshooting and sensor analysis ensured that the custom belt addressed the cause of the problem, with its performance verified in production.
Improve Flow. Reduce Costs. Increase Output.
