Product catalog summary
Proximity Technology
Proximity technology is used to measure pressure or vacuum in containers with metal closures by assessing lid deflection. A sensor generates a magnetic field to monitor the distance between the sensor and the metal lid, producing a merit value of the lid profile. This value is compared to user-defined limits, and containers outside these limits are rejected.
Fill Level Technology
The Optical sensor measures the fill level of water-based products in glass and plastic containers using an infrared wavelength tuned to water's absorption band. The beam can penetrate most plastic and glass containers but not water-based liquids.
Benefits
  • Rapid on-line inspection of up to 2,000 containers per minute
  • Menu-driven keypad interface
  • 6 digital inputs and 4 optional outputs
  • Remote rejector option and shaft encoder for variable speed lines
Applications
  • Vacuum inspection on metal cans and glass jars
  • Inspection for missing labels, caps, tamper bands, and foil seals
  • Fill level inspection in glass or plastic containers
Compact Container Inspection System
The TapTone 100 system integrates various sensors for defect detection in cans, bottles, and jars. It features a compact design, requiring minimal space, and includes a menu-driven keypad for easy operation. Self-diagnostics ensure continuous performance monitoring.

Taptone 100 - Cost Effective Inspection System for Cans, Bottles and Jars-1

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.
