Abstract

The work aims to address the problems of random missed detection and the manual inversion or misplacement of cigarette cartons after camera inspection which both lead to the incorrect use of cigarette cartons. A vision-based verification system for the brand and specification of cigarette cartons in a flexible carton sealing machine was designed by utilizing techniques such as image vision recognition, PLC control, and data comparison. This system performed real-time detection of various brands and specifications for cigarette cartons without interfering with the detection of the original flexible carton sealing machine. After the system was installed, the detection effect was accurate, with an accuracy rate of ≥99.9% for removing defective cigarette cartons and the error rate was ≤0.01%, effectively preventing unqualified products from flowing into downstream processes. The vision-based verification system accurately ensures that the flexible carton sealing machine uses the corresponding correct cigarette carton under complex production plans with multiple brands and specifications, which is conducive to improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality.
