Package Inspection Systems Advanced Control / Versatile Inspection The TapTone 4000 isa versatile package inspection system capable of examining containers for leaks, fill level, vacuum and pressure, and physical defects. The system's software gives users greater control over their product set-up and changeover, rejector set-up and alarms, and "last reject" values. The system combinesan Intuitive user interface, proven technology, and a long-standing record of high reliability, making the TapTone 4000 a cost effective solution for inspection of your plastic, metal, and glass containers. Benefits Applications On-line, production leaks, vacuum, pressure, physical defects, and fill level on rigid and flexible Easy operation 8 product set-up using a large color touch screen and icon driven Controlled access to system features with multi level passwords Combined inspections on a single controller: Up lo 4 primary inspections (Acoustic, * Imo Independent Reject Outputs tot Pressure inspection on carbonated or LN2 dosed beverage cans Vacuum/Pressure inspection in plastic containers with plastic closures or composite closures Leak inspection on glass beer bottles with Fill height inspector plastic containers.

Fill Level Technology Optica Techno ogy: The Optical sensor is used to measure fill level of water based products in glass and plastic containers. Trie 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 aí;: glass :;i-lan:is b..t wil ro: pass through water based liquids, X-ray Technology: The X-ray sensor is used to measure the fill level in steel, aluminum, glass, plastic and paper containers. An x-iay 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.
