Abstract:
An apparatus for acquiring a two-dimensional image of an external surface of a three-dimensional object is described. The apparatus includes a conveyor for supporting and displacing the object, a camera for capturing images of portions of the object surface, and a friction member for rotating the object. The camera is configured to capture images corresponding to successive exposed portions of the object surface, and to sequentially capture the images as respective single frames. The apparatus further includes electronic control unit adapted to read out a sub-frame from the single frame, store said sub-frame, and assemble successive sub-frames into an assembled frame corresponding to a two-dimensional image of an unpeeled surface area of the object.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for handling capsules in a capsule processing equipment. The invention also relates to capsule processing equipment, such as an inspection equipment or a capsule printing equipment that includes such an apparatus.
Abstract:
An output scanner for recording an image on a radiation sensitive medium comprises an at least part cylindrical support which carries the medium in use, the medium facing radially inwardly. A scanning unit is positioned radially inwardly of the support and has a generator for generating a plurality of modulated radiation beams, the beams being modulated with respective image information, and a reflector for reflecting the two beams onto the medium at respective, different positions. Optics focus the beams onto the medium. Motors cause relative rotation and traverse movement between the scanning unit and the support about and along the axis of the support respectively.
