RGVM-500 Gripper-type Vial Inspection Machine

Gripper-type suspension design with 360° blind-spot-free imaging, Cognex AI vision, 500 bottles per minute and ≥40 μm detection accuracy for vials, oral liquid and eye drop bottles.

The RGVM-500 is a fully automated visual inspection system for transparent and translucent containers — vials, oral liquid bottles and eye drop bottles. A gripper-type suspension structure holds each bottle in a suspended state while an active rotation system images it through 360° with no blind spots, covering cap, neck, body and base — from cosmetic flaws to foreign particles and liquid fill levels. Optional TDLAS laser-based headspace oxygen analysis and leak-detection modules extend inspection to container integrity.

The RGVM-500 combines a blind-spot-free mechanical design with an AI inspection architecture engineered for high-speed, high-precision pharmaceutical production.

  • Gripper-type suspension with active bottle rotation — 360° imaging with no blind spots and no base obstruction
  • Cognex AI vision system with offline learning — no cloud upload, production data never leaves the site
  • Multispectral lighting penetrates semi-transparent bottles and turbid liquids to reveal concealed impurities and glass fragments
  • Line-scan cameras with high-speed EtherCAT communication — 0.6 s inspection cycle, ≥40 μm accuracy (adjustable)
  • Optional TDLAS laser headspace oxygen analysis for non-contact, real-time container-integrity monitoring
  • Validated with the internationally recognized Knapp test procedure, meeting US FDA and EU EMA expectations

One line, five steps, zero hand-offs

Five stations, every bottle, no blind spots

Instead of the bottom-support structure used by conventional inspection machines — which obstructs light and creates inspection blind spots — the RGVM-500 suspends each bottle in a gripper and rotates it actively, so every surface is imaged and evaluated before the bottle is released or rejected.

1

Loading & orientation

Bottles are fed and oriented into the inspection chain.

2

Gripper suspension & rotation

The bottle is held in a suspended state and rotated for full 360° imaging.

3

Multispectral imaging

21 line-scan cameras capture visible and non-visible light images across cap, neck, body and base.

4

AI evaluation

The Cognex AI vision system classifies defects — cracks, contamination, scratches, foreign particles, fill level — with offline learning.

5

Sorting & rejection

Good bottles continue down the line; defective bottles are removed via 2 dedicated reject channels.
