Edge-to-edge cutting minimizes waste and servos speed changeover. Other features include Pace feeder system that handles challenging tablet shapes, GMP-compliant balcony design, and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant hardware and software. ACG North America, South Plainfield, NJ. Tel. 908 757 3425 www.acg-northamerica.com Blister leak detector Sepha VisionScan nondestructive leak detector uses camera, imaging software, and differential pressure measurement to detect weak seals and/or leaks in blister packs of multiple materials and formats. Test takes 10 seconds for micron-size holes and as little as 5 sec- onds for larger holes. Touch-screen shows pass/fail result for each individual pocket with defects as small as 7 microns. Unit uses no special tooling, enabling you test multiple products without changeover and allowing use in tandem with high-volume oper- ations. Test is superior to blue-dye testing because it is objective, can be validated, and saves time. In addition, detector stores infor- mation about unlimited number of product types. Company's VisionScan Max accepts package magazine to facilitate semi-auto- matic testing of large quantities. Thomas Packaging, Rolling Meadows, IL. Tel. 847 392 1652 www.thomaspackaging.com Blister leak detector VeriPac UBV leak detector places blister packages under vacuum and uses volumetric imaging to detect leaks as small as 10 microns. Nonde- structive test identifies leak location in seconds. Unit requires no change parts, special tooling, parameter inputs, or sample prepara- tion. In operation, you input number of blister cavities, place blister package on inspection plate, and press "Start." Detector displays pass/fail result and image of tested package. Unit's small footprint conserves floor space and enables you install it next to packaging line for rapid feedback. Company also offers Pentapack packaging equipment for thermo- and cold-form blister packages. PTI Inspection Systems, Tuckahoe, NY. Tel. 914 337 2005 www.ptiusa.com
