UNICA is an automatic machine for checking the weight and dimensions of cork stoppers with a diameter from 23 to 31mm and height from 38 to 54mm.
Available in various configurations by combining the various sensors on request, UNICA subdivides into four classifications "non-compliant" stpooer from "compliant" ones for a total of 5 divisions: Conform, Heavy, Light, Measurements (Height and Diameter) and Color.
The name UNICA has been chosen because in unique equipment includes Load Cells, LASER Sensors and Color Sensors for a complete compliance check in ONE step.
Upgredable software, Ethernet connection, operation diagnostics and HMI operator interface make UNICA compatible with modern certifications on the ergonomics and efficiency of the workplace in logic 4.0

LOAD CELL
The UNICA load cell represents the true innovative aspect of this machine.
The use of a CUSTOM HARDWARE and specific algorithms, have allowed the achievement of excellent performance in a single mechanical body and small size:
Productivity of 15,000 stoppers/h with an accuracy of +/- 0.1g and 18.000 stpooers/h also at +/- 0.1g.
UNICA, is also able to process plugs from small 23x38 up to 26x54 or 31x48 without requiring any mechanical replacement.
3 programmable speeds:
SLOWLY / NOMINAL / FAST
UNICA has a nominal productivity of 15,000 Caps / hour, however there may be cases where, depending on the required accuracy or the conditions of the material being worked, it is more efficient to program a different speed.
Slow: 12,500 caps / h Accuracy +/- 0,1gr
Nominal: 15,000 caps / h Accuracy +/- 0,1gr
Fast: 17,500 caps / h Accuracy +/- 0,2grr
CONFIGURABLE
The software of UNICA has been studied in order to adapt itself to the different configurations made necessary by the different needs of the customers.
The result is a single software able to manage any Hardware and Mechanical configuration (including that of the sister CALIBRA), allowing compatibility to future developments to all machines, regardless of their configuration.
MENU STRUCTURE
A sophisticated machine like UNICA, inevitably has many options and settings.
Setup, Calibrations, Variables, Testing etc. are all functions managed by a simple and intuitive HMI (Hunan Machine Interface) MENU. This type of interface allows the maintenance of the machine in optimal conditions even without the use of specific equipment.

COLOR SENSOR
The COLOR sensor of UNICA, is an RGB sensor capable of accurately discrimination to non-compliant color.
IIts precision is such that it is possible to discriminate not only natural color stoppers from white stoppers, but also with intermediate colors.
It does not require specific skills, it is programmed by self-learning of a single cap.
DETECTION OF DIMENSIONS
A LASER emitter combined with a CCD sensor and a motion sensor, detect the diameter and height of each individual stpooer.
Its accuracy in mm is +/- 0.2 in height and +/- 0.1 in diameter.
Furthermore, a software filter makes it possible to pass chamfered plugs without affecting the average diameter calculation.
With this sensor, UNICA can also be used with extreme reliability for the division of caps of different sizes accidentally mixed.
