VISION TECHNOLOGY Camera Sensor for Cap and Closure Inspection The TapTone CapVu camera sensor is designed to perform visual inspection of container closures for missing caps, high caps, cocked or tilted caps, and missing tamper rings. The sensor includes a high speed digital camera and LED back light housed in a stainless steel enclosure. The sensor mounts on a remote variable height stand. The CapVu sensor is compatible with any TapTone control platform and can be added to existing TapTone systems as an optional inspection. Benefits • Low-cost camera inspection at production line speeds CapVu Affordable, high-speed camera sensor for accurate cap and closure inspection Applications • Dairy containers • No conveyor modifications required; sensor is cantilevered over existing conveyor • Carbonated and LN2 dosed beverages • No tools required for change-overs • Bottled water • Simple height adjustment • Condiment containers • Easy operation using a color touch screen and icon driven menus • Household chemicals • USB Port to download images • Personal care & cosmetics • Nutraceutical products • Container teach-in How It Works The CapVu sensor uses vision technology to inspect the cap or closure on containers after they have been filled and capped. A good container is passed through the sensor and the image stored in the camera. As the production containers pass through the sensor, the high speed camera takes an image at up to 6000 frames per minute. The image of the production containers are then compared to the image of the good container stored in the camera to determine the proper cap placement. Containers that do not match the good image are rejected. The CapVu sensor can be used to detect missing caps, high caps, cocked or tilted caps, and missing tamper rings on glass, plastic, and metal containers. Compatible with any TapTone Control Platform!
