Loading
High-speed automated camera vision inspection machine checking injectable liquid vials and ampoules for particulates, fill levels, and cosmetic glass defects.
Up to 150 vials/minute (9,000 vials/hour)
The VIB-150 Automated Optical Inspection Machine inspects filled liquid and lyophilized vials at speeds up to 150 containers per minute. High-speed multi-camera stations spin containers up to 4,000 RPM and instantly brake, tracking the movement of particulates (glass shards, fibers, metallic particles) using polarized backlighting, while top and bottom cameras inspect stopper seating, crimp quality, and container cracks.

Third-party certification of the quality management system under which every machine in the range is designed, built and tested. It certifies the process, not the performance of an individual machine.
Evidence: ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Certificate (PDF · 2 KB)World Health Organization guidance on good manufacturing practice, widely used as the reference for export markets and WHO prequalification.
US regulation setting the controls under which electronic records and signatures are considered trustworthy and equivalent to paper records.
Evidence: Computerised System Validation & 21 CFR Part 11 Assessment Template (on request)Industry guidance for a risk-based approach to validating GxP computerised systems, used to scope the CSV deliverables supplied with the machine.
EudraLex Volume 4 guidance (2022 revision) on sterile manufacture, including equipment design for cleanability, sterilisation and first-air protection.
All configurations
Confirms that the VIB-150 design, as specified, meets the user requirement specification before manufacture begins.
GMP configurations
Documents that the machine is installed to drawing, connected to the specified utilities and calibrated.
GMP configurations
Challenges the machine across its operating ranges, alarms and interlocks to show it performs as specified.
Customer-executed; product-specific acceptance criteria
Executed by the customer with our support: three production runs with fill volume and closure integrity in limits; media fill support for aseptic lines.
All configurations; customer witnessing optional
Witnessed at our works before dispatch, so defects are corrected where the parts, tools and engineers are.
All configurations
Repeats the critical FAT checks at the customer site after installation and utility connection.
Machines with the PLC/HMI control package
Validation of the PLC/HMI control system to GAMP 5, including the 21 CFR Part 11 controls for electronic records.
