Bosch Packaging Technology presented the first fully automated vial inspection machine of their new AIM 8 series. In the future, the series will be completed by additional models to cover further parenteral liquid container types, such as syringes, cartridges and ampoules.
The AIM 8 series is characterised by a modular design, which allows an easy adaptation of the machines to customer-specific requirements. The basic module of the AIM 8 is equipped with a CMOS camera-based particle inspection system and a table for up to five inspection stations. Each station can in turn be equipped with a wide range of different inspection units. Most of these units combine two inspection types, leading to significant space-savings on the tables. Depending on their requirements, customers can expand this main mod-ule by connecting it to a sub-module containing an additional inspection table, as well as to a prespin table to reduce bubbles in the liquid or homogenise suspensions.
In contrast to previous series, a camera system is integrated into the main module as standard particle inspection unit. The AIM 8 series is designed to inspect up to 600 containers per minute for product and cosmetic container defects, such as particles inside liquid pharmaceuticals or scratches and spots on the container. The machine presented at Interpack handles 450 vials per minute.
