COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY Package Inspection Systems A Teledyne Technologies Company Leak Detection for Flexible Containers The TapTone 4000 Compression system inspects 100% of your containers at production line speeds. The TapTone 4000 Compression system will detect pin-hole leaks in plastic containers and tubes. When combined with optional sensors, this system will also perform fill level inspection, cap inspection and label detection. Single Sensor Compression Inspection for leak detection • Rapid on-line inspection: up to 1.52 m/sec • Accurate leak detection as small as 0.508 • Easy operation & product set-up using a large color touch screen and icon driven menus • Controlled access to system features with multi-level passwords Combined inspections on a single controller: Up to 4 primary inspections (Compression, X-ray, Proximity) • Reject and sort with 2 independently operated reject outputs • Leak detection in plastic containers • Leak detection in tubes • Leak detection in food/dairy cups Compression Technology Detects leaks in plastic containers. As a container passes through the system, dual parallel belts apply force to the sidewalls of the container. This action compresses the head space of the container, which allows a sensor to take a force measurement at the discharge of the system 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. 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. X-ray Technology: The X-ray 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 level of
