Cap Inspection

Inspection of bottle cap liners for defects. The system inspects and sorts caps traveling on a conveyor.

Rejects are ejected and good parts pass through.

The system featured a small inspection chamber mounted on the customer-supplied process conveyor, and had a separate stand for the electronics.

Highly customized user interface and software allows technicians to easily adjust complex inspection test parameters.

Assembly Machine

Two parts are assembled at 60 ppm in a smooth, continuous motion.

Bowl feeders supply parts to the infeed conveyors.

Specially developed pressing “cars” revolve on a heavy-duty zero-stop indexer.

The resultant part height of the assembly is measured as the parts pass around the dial.

Rejected parts cause the dial to stop where they are swept out.

Good parts continue where they are stripped from the dial to a conveyor.

Tray Inspection

Medical trays are inspected for correct placement of components and other attributes, using a color line-scan camera.

Images of up to 12” x 30” are created as the part is conveyed under the camera.

A powerful custom user interface allowed arrays of very sophisticated inspection tools to be integrated into easy-to understand feature detectors.

Templates were developed to allow users with little vision system knowledge to easily create inspections for new trays

Force Testing

This machine module tests the bond integrity of cap liners at 120 ppm, and was designed into an existing manufacturing line.

The single line conveyor brings parts into and out of the Test Module.

A high-precision pneumatic pressure regulator and frictionless cylinders provide accurate testing.

Parts are individually sorted and rejects are pulled from the dial before the parts are stripped from the dial as they exit to the conveyor.

Film Strip Inspection

Film strips are inspected for voids down to 10 microns in the coating, using an 8k line scan camera and a high intensity strip backlight.

A servo-driven carriage with a specially designed part holder moved the strip past the camera.

A custom operator interface was developed and the stored test results were imported by the customers data network.
