Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed specifications and applications for the TapTone Force inspection system, designed for rapid on-line inspection of containers at production line speeds. It features easy operation through a large color touch screen and supports multiple inspection types on a single interface.

Key Features
  • Rapid inspection speed up to 1.52 m/sec (300 ft/min).
  • Combined inspections including Force, X-ray, and Proximity.
  • Two independently operated reject outputs.
  • Compliance with CE requirements and UL/CUL approval.

Applications
  • Inspection of LN2 dosed teas, juices, and water.
  • Pressure inspection in PET containers and retorted dairy drinks.
  • Carbonated beverages in cans or plastic bottles.
  • Suitable for pressure applications up to 3.1 bar or 45 psi.

Force Technology
The system inspects 100% of containers, detecting leaks and low pressure using a sensor that measures sidewall tension. It utilizes DSP technology to analyze measurements and activate a reject system if necessary.

Fill Level Technology
  • Optical Technology: Uses infrared sensors to measure fill levels in glass and plastic containers.
  • X-ray Technology: Measures fill levels in various container materials by analyzing x-ray beam attenuation.

Options
  • Air pressure monitoring with alarm signals.
  • Cap inspection for missing or misaligned caps.
  • Down Bottle/Can Inspection for fallen containers.
  • Various rejector systems and reject verification.

System Specifications
  • Pressure measurement range up to 3.1 bar (45 psi).
  • Maximum operating speed of 1.9 m/sec (375 ft/min).
  • Conveyor height range from 60.9 cm to 157.4 cm.
  • Stainless steel enclosure with NEMA 4X, IP65 rating.
  • Supports multiple languages and industrial Ethernet protocols.

Dimensions
The document includes detailed dimensions for the system's top and front views, ensuring compatibility with various production environments.

Force-1

Force Technology TapTone Force Pressure Inspection up to 3.1 bar or 45 psi The TapTone Force (F) sensor inspects 100% of containers at production line speeds. The system will detect leaks and low pressure in liquid nitrogen dosed containers and carbonated beverage containers. When combined with optional sensors, this system will also perform fill level inspection, cap inspection, and label detection. Features • apid on-line inspection: up to 1.52 m/sec R (300 ft/min) maximum PRO Series Force Pressurized container inspection for liquid nitrogen dosed containers and carbonated beverage containers. Applications • LN2 dosed teas, juices, and water • asy operation & product set-up using a E large color touch screen and icon driven menus • ombined inspections on a single user C interface. Up to 4 primary inspections (Force, X-ray, Proximity) • eject and sort with 2 independently R operated reject outputs • ver pressure/under pressure in LN2 dosed O PET containers • Retorted dairy drinks in cans • arbonated beer or soft drinks in cans or C plastic bottles • ther low to mid-range pressure O applications up to 3.1 bar or 45 psi • Meets CE requirements • UL and CUL approved How It Works Force Technology Fill Level Technology Detects leaks and low pressure in LN2 dosed containers, carbonated beverage containers and aerosol containers. Parallel belts transport the container past a sensor that measures the tension on the sidewall of the container. This action allows the system to measure the pressure inside the container. Utilizing DSP technology, the controller analyzes the measurement and assigns a merit value to each container. If the merit value is outside of the acceptable range, a reject signal activates a remote reject system and the container is removed from the line. Optical Technology: The Fill_ir sensor is used to measure fill level of water based products in glass and plastic containers. The sensor utilizes a special emitter/receiver infrared wavelength tuned to the absorption band of water. The beam is powerful enough to pass through most types of plastic and glass containers but will not pass through water based liquids. Innovations in Container Inspection X-ray Technology: The Fill_xr sensor is used to measure the fill level in steel, aluminum, glass, plastic and paper containers. An x-ray beam is focused in the expected fill level region of the container. As the x-ray beam penetrates the container, it is attenuated by the amount of product blocking the beam. The attenuation is proportionate to the fill leve
