The increased use of polypropylene and windowed sleeves has required that discs be orientated precisely instead of haphazardly. The DO500 Disc Orientation System is a complete system to orient CDs and DVDs before they are inserted into a sleeve. The DO500 can be either field retrofitted to your existing CD sleeving automation or installed on OEM equipment prior to shipping. The DO500 Disc orientation system includes a top mounted Camera Module and Vision Processor. Xiris can supply the vision system with an orientation platter, or integrate the system to an OEM s orientation platter.
Inspection is triggered with a Look Now signal from an external device.
At the heart of the system is an advanced pattern matching algorithm that uses Artificial Intelligence-like techniques to quickly locate features on the disc. An image of the disc is sent to the vision computer to determine the disc s orientation. A signal is sent from the processor to the orientation platter and the disc is orientated to the correct position, ready for pickup and insertion into a sleeve. Recommended for use in sleeving or packaging operations where orientation of the disc is required, the DO500 can meet machine speeds of up to 120 ppm, and has the flexibility to function with all major optical disc packaging machine manufacturers handling equipment.
