Real-time monitoring system

Hamburg, Germany - Rofin-Sinar's VisionPerfoControl real-time monitoring system monitors laser perforation quality, ensuring that micro-holes of consistent quality and diameter have been perforated. Typically, these holes have diameters less than 120µm while the packaging film moves around 100-400 m/min.

VisionPerfoControl's laser perforation heads are each fitted with a camera, and the output of each camera is processed using pattern recognition software to record the dimensions of the holes. This allows for validation of the micro-perforation process and eliminates the possibility of incorrect setup (focus error) from spoiling the output from the perforation system.
