Due to increasing production rates as well as the demand for product traceability, it is important for manufacturers to ensure that printed codes are clean, legible and accurate. But how can manufacturers ensure that each product leaves their facility with a clear and accurate code? Hitachi has developed a solution in the form of a vision code verification system that works with Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printer technology, Hitachi has built from the ground up the MC-20 Vision System. Designed with Optical Character Verification (OCV) and conditional grading, this vision inspection solution isolates each character in the printed code to ensure that not only is it readable by the human eye, but also the correct code required. As a result, manufacturers will know that each code leaving their plant is correct and readable. In addition, the MC-20 series, can easily work with all CIJ printer types at every increasing speeds.

Benefits of MC-20 Vision System

Verify any code from any printer, effortlessly!

  • Developed to accurately read CIJ specific font types (an industry first)
  • Integrates with the printer to ensure code accuracy
  • Threshold based grading system, virtually eliminates false rejects

Primary Features

Primary Features

Individual Character Verification

The MC-20 Vision System utilizes advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to ensure the legibility of each printed character, providing precise and reliable code verification for optimal quality control.

Customizable Training Capability

Further, enhance precision in print verification with the MC-20 Vision System's customizable training feature. Users can register specific character patterns to reject, allowing for more accurate and tailored code verification.

Conditional Grading System

Over time, print code quality deteriorates due to anomalies, environmental factors, and printer issues. The MC-20 vision system employs an advanced grading system that evaluates each character on a scale from 0 to 100, ensuring to flag low-grade characters and maintaining high-quality standards.

Human-Like Assessment

Experience the precision of Hitachi's “adjustable matching” technology, designed to mimic human-like assessment. This innovative feature adapts to changes in the size and line thickness of dot fonts, ensuring accurate and consistent code verification.

Traceability and Image Saving

Easily maintain traceability and record-keeping with our smart vision inspection system. Seamlessly transfer saved images and failure statistics to external hard drives or servers using USB or Ethernet connectivity options, ensuring comprehensive data management for your operational needs.
