    Filling machine with Yushin's FSS installed

    Yushin has released an image inspection system called "FSS" that immediately detects heat seal defects that occur when filling sachets containing liquids used for food and other purposes. Compared to manual inspection work, this system saves manpower and costs, and increases the accuracy of inspection. The FSS uses a camera to inspect the sealing part of a liquid filling and packaging machine when it is filled with liquid and the edges of the film are sealed by heating. The inspection area can be determined by setting in advance the size of the mechanism called the "sealing plate" that applies heat to the film. If wrinkles, bites, foaming, or other defects that could lead to liquid leakage are found in the sealing area, the sachet is discharged. The machine's built-in discharge device can be used, or a separate mechanism can be installed. Photo taken on May 10, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
