INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY Package Inspection Systems A Teledyne Technologies Company Compact Container Inspection System The TapTone 100 on-line inspection system incorporates various sensors for detecting defects in cans, bottles and jars. The system has a simple design and is extremely cost effective. A single conveyor mount configuration houses the control electronics and plug-in connectors to accommodate up to seven different inspections. The "all- in-one" design requires minimal line space and no floor space, which is especially important for crowded production lines. A menu driven keypad with 6 keys provides a simple-to-use interface. Self-diagnostics are utilized for continuous monitoring of machine performance. • Rapid on-line inspection: up to 2,000 • Menu-driven keypad • Remote rejector option • Shaft encoder for variable speed lines • Vacuum inspection on metal cans with sanitary ends • Vacuum inspection on glass jars with lug caps or pop button ends Missing label inspection • Missing tamper band detection • Missing foil seals • Fill level inspection in glass or plastic containers (application specific) On-line, production speed swelled cans, button-up lids, physical defects, and fill level on rigid and flexible Proximity Technology Proximity technology measures pressure or vacuum in containers with metal closures by measuring the lid deflection. The sensor produces a continuous magnetic field that monitors the distance between the sensor and the metal lid. The continuous signal is digitally sampled to produce a merit value of the lid profile. The profile value is then compared to user set limits. Containers with lid deflection outside these limits are rejected. Fill Level Technology Optical Technology: The Optical 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.
