TapTone T4000-FS Force Inspection System

TapTone T4000-FS Force Inspection System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The TapTone 4000-FS is an advanced inspection system designed for high-pressure applications, particularly in aerosol containers and heavy-duty aluminum cans. It offers rapid on-line inspection capabilities with a maximum speed of 2.67 m/sec (525 ft/min) and features a user-friendly interface with a large color touch screen.
Key Benefits:
  • Rapid inspection speeds suitable for high-volume production lines.
  • Easy operation with icon-driven menus and multi-level password protection for controlled access.
  • Capability to perform up to four primary inspections simultaneously.
  • Dual reject outputs for efficient sorting and rejection processes.
  • Compliance with CE, UL, and CUL standards.
Pressure Inspection: The system can handle pressures up to 11 bar (160 psi), making it ideal for inspecting containers with high internal pressures. It is equipped with a stainless steel transport system and reinforced side plates for durability and stability in harsh environments.
Force Technology: Utilizes DSP technology to detect leaks and low pressure in various container types, including LN2 dosed and carbonated beverage containers. The system measures sidewall tension to determine internal pressure and assigns a merit value to each container for quality control.
Applications:
  • Inspection of aerosol cans with gas or liquid propellants.
  • Inspection of carbonated or LN2 dosed plastic and beverage cans.
  • Inspection of LN2 dosed retorted dairy-based drinks.
Fill Level Technology:
  • Optical Technology: Uses infrared sensors to measure fill levels in water-based products within glass and plastic containers.
  • X-ray Technology: Measures fill levels in steel, aluminum, glass, plastic, and paper containers by analyzing x-ray beam attenuation.
System Specifications:
  • Pressure measurement range up to 11 bar (160 psi).
  • Standard conveyor height range from 91.4 cm to 132 cm, with optional extensions.
  • Stainless steel construction with NEMA 4X, IP65 rated enclosure.
  • Supports multiple languages and industrial Ethernet protocols.
System Options:
  • Air pressure monitoring with alarm signals.
  • Belt wash system for cleaning and drying compression belts.
  • Cap inspection for detecting missing, high, or cocked caps.
  • Various rejector systems and reject verification capabilities.
  • Trigger blow-off for maintaining cleanliness in harsh environments.

TapTone T4000-FS Force Inspection System-1

FORCE TECHNOLOGY Package Inspection Systems A Teledyne Technologies Company Stainless steel construction and reinforced side plates ideal system for high pressure and high speed The TapTone 4000-FS is designed to handle the higher pressure applications found with many aerosol containers and heavy duty aluminum can/bottle applications. The system inspects 100% of containers at production line speeds. The TapTone 4000-FS is manufactured with a stainless steel transport system for harsh environments. The reinforced side plates give extra rigidity for high pressure applications and allow for a stable reading with excellent resolution. The system can alternatively be fit with a mid-range or low range pressure sensor for applications that require all-stainless steel construction. Force Technology Detects leaks and low pressure in LN2 dosed containers, carbonated beverage containers and aerosol containers. Parallel belts transport the container past a sensor that measures the tension on the sidewall of the container. This action allows the system to measure the pressure inside the container. 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 and the container is removed from the line. • Rapid on-line inspection: up to 2.67 m/sec • 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: • Reject and sort with 2 independently operated reject outputs • Pressure/Leak inspection in aerosol cans • Pressure inspection in aerosol cans with liquid propellent • Pressure/Leak inspection in carbonated or LN2 dosed plastic containers • Pressure/Leak inspection in carbonated or LN2 dosed beverage cans Pressure/Leak inspection in LN2 dosed retorted dairy based drinks • Pressure/Leak inspection in containers with 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
