Automatic inspection machine Teledyne Taptone

Plastic Container Inspection System - The TapTone 4000-PBI is designed to detect leaks in plastic containers, stand-up pouches and tubes at production line speeds. Utilizing advanced DSP technology and fail-saife control logic, the TapTone 4000-PBI inspects 100% of production for micro leaks. When combined with optional sensors, the TapTone 4000-PBI can also detect low fills, over fills, and closure defects.

Dual Sensor Compression Technology - detects and rejects leaking and demaaged flexible containers at production line speeds up to 200 feet per minute. The system is designed with dual parallel chains suspended over the customer's existing conveying system. As the container passes through the system, the dual parallel chains apply force to the sidewall of the container. This action compresses the headspace of the container, which allows a comparative measurement to be taken at both the infeed and the discharge of the system. Comparing the container to itself at the infeed and the discharge of the systems eliminates the effects of typical variations seen in the production environment (fill level, product temperature, and container desity). Utilizing advanced DSP technology the TapTone 4000 controller analyzes the comparative 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.
