Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of printing quality inspection equipment, and in particular to an inspection machine for film products, which can be used for thin film products such as transfer film and in-mold labels. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure the quality of printed films, a film inspection machine is needed to check the printing quality of the printed film. This film inspection machine primarily inspects the printing quality of the printed surface on the film. The film can be transfer film, in-mold label, or other film products.
[0003] Existing film inspection machines have the following defects:
[0004] (1) High false negative rate: Some existing technologies use pure visual inspection schemes, which are insufficient for recognizing minute color differences and overprinting deviations;
[0005] (2) Inconvenient manual verification: Traditional equipment requires stopping the machine to take samples. Although some solutions in the existing technology have added observation windows, they have not solved the problem of separating the detection and repair process.

[0060] Working principle:
[0061] This invention provides an inspection machine for film products. It achieves high-precision inspection through integrated triple detection channels, significantly reducing the false negative rate. The guide rollers of the unwinding unit guide the product to be tested to the imaging unit. The product is then placed flat below the industrial camera and guided to the inspection unit via the guide rollers. The first display shows the captured image, the set capture blocks, and the error types analyzed by the system. The second display shows a magnified image, allowing operators to easily observe whether printing errors exist. After being guided by the rollers, the product is placed flat below a transparent, visual operating table. Operators can then re-observe and confirm the printing errors through the table. Once the location of the error is confirmed, the operator can cut out the incorrect content and wrap it around the waste roller via the guide rollers. The correct product is then bonded and wound onto the finished product roller. This invention achieves a fully integrated process of "automatic identification → manual verification → online repair."
