Operating principle

Multi-Point Proximity Measurement

A proximity sensor measures the distance between closure and sensor at multiple measurement points. Algorithms compare the profiles against target values; out-of-tolerance containers are rejected at the correct reject point via integrated tracking.

PerformanceUp to 144,000 cph

Benefits

Enhanced quality control by identifying faulty or improperly closed containers.
Improved efficiency through automated cap inspection with fewer manual checks.
Reduced waste through early rejection of defective single containers.

Features

Compact inspection bridge for metal closures.
Detects cap integrity (damage, deformation, fit, absence) and vacuum/pressure deviations.
Non-contact inspection; water drops, labels, and closure color do not affect measurement.
Integrated tracking plus operation/visualization via display, PC (LAN), tablet, or smartphone (WLAN).
