TapTone 4000 - Advanced Control / Versatile Inspection

Product catalog summary
Overview: The TapTone 4000 is an advanced inspection system designed for on-line, high-speed inspection of containers for leaks, vacuum, pressure, physical defects, and fill levels. It is suitable for use with rigid and flexible containers made of plastic, metal, and glass.
Acoustic Technology: This technology measures pressure or vacuum in containers with metal closures by applying an electromagnetic pulse to the lid, causing it to vibrate at a natural resonant frequency. The frequency is detected by a microphone and compared to user-set limits to determine if the container is acceptable.
Proximity Technology: This method measures lid deflection in containers with metal closures using a magnetic field. The distance between the sensor and the lid is monitored, and the profile value is compared to user-set limits to identify unacceptable containers.
Fill Level Technology:
  • Optical Technology: Utilizes infrared wavelengths to measure fill levels in glass and plastic containers by detecting water-based products.
  • X-ray Technology: Measures fill levels in various container materials by focusing an x-ray beam in the expected fill level region and measuring attenuation.
System Benefits:
  • Rapid inspection capability of up to 2,000 containers per minute.
  • User-friendly operation with a large color touch screen and icon-driven menus.
  • Multi-level password protection for controlled access.
  • Capability to perform up to four primary inspections on a single controller.
  • Compliance with CE requirements and UL/CUL approval.
Applications: The system is applicable for vacuum inspection on metal cans and glass jars, pressure inspection on carbonated beverage cans, leak inspection on glass beer bottles, and fill height inspection on various container types.
Advanced Control: The TapTone 4000 offers versatile inspection capabilities with software that enhances product setup, changeover, rejector setup, and alarm management. It supports remote diagnostics, multiple languages, and industrial Ethernet protocols.
System Specifications:
  • Operating speed: Up to 2,000 containers/min (Proximity, X-ray) and 1,500 containers/min (Acoustic).
  • Operating temperature: 0º to 50ºC (32º to 122ºF).
  • Humidity: 0 to 90%, non-condensing.
  • Enclosure: Stainless steel, NEMA 4X, IP65 rated.
  • Touch screen display: 25.4 cm (10 in), color HMI.
