ALPHA CIS Laser
Non-contact metal cap inspection
Cap InspectionUp to 144,000 cph

Application
Detect Metal Cap Deviations
ALPHA CIS Laser supports continuous cap inspection on bottling and canning lines with metal closures. It helps detect missing, tilted, damaged or deformed caps as well as vacuum and pressure deviations before defective containers move downstream.

Operating principle
Closure Profile Measurement
The system measures closure height and deflection profiles as containers pass the compact bridge, compares the profiles with taught target values, and triggers reject handling through ALPHA tracking when measurements are outside tolerance.
- PerformanceUp to 144,000 cph
Benefits
- Automated inline inspection reduces reliance on manual cap checks at production speed.
- Early reject decisions help reduce downstream waste and rework caused by faulty closures.
- Profile-based evaluation supports reliable detection of cap fit, deformation and closure integrity issues.
- Integrated ALPHA tracking connects inspection decisions directly to reject handling.
- Production counters and good/bad event data support process monitoring and optimization.
Features
- Compact stainless steel inspection bridge with integrated trigger sensor and height adjustment.
- Supports jars with twist-off caps, bottles with crown corks and metal caps, beverage cans and food cans.
- Checks cap integrity, cap absence, cap tilt, deformation, vacuum and pressure-related deviations.
- Evaluates height, deformation, area asymmetry and edge asymmetry.
- Operation and visualization via local display, LAN client, tablet or smartphone.
- Compatible with PUSHER and BOS rejection systems.
