Systems and methods for automated in-line plunger depth measurement

Abstract

An automated inspection system includes a sensor system that includes a sensor and is configured to generate a plurality of syringe scans by scanning each of a plurality of syringes. Each of the plurality of syringe scans is indicative of distance relative to the sensor. The automated inspection system also includes one or more processors configured to, for each of the plurality of syringes, analyze the respective syringe scan to determine (i) a first distance to a first portion (e.g., flange) of the syringe and (ii) a second distance to a second portion (e.g., plunger) of the syringe, and calculate a distance between the first and second portions based on the first distance and the second distance.
