The TapTone 100 on-line inspection system incorporates various sensors for detecting defects in cans, bottles and jars. The system has a simple design and is extremely cost effective. A single conveyor mount configuration houses the control electronics and plug-in connectors to accommodate up to seven different inspections. The “all-in-one” design requires minimal line space and no floor space, which is especially important for crowded production lines. A menu driven keypad with 6 keys provides a simple-to-use interface. Self-diagnostics are utilized for continuous monitoring of machine performance. This system can be used as a dud detector but has many other features due to its multi-sensor capabilities.
Proximity Technology - The TapTone 100 utilizes a proximity sensor to measure vacuum in containers by measuring the lid deflection. The proximity sensor produces a continuous magnetic field that monitors the distance to the metal lid and produces a proportional analog voltage. The continuous proximity signal is digitally sampled to produce a merit value of the lid profile. The profile value is then compared to user-set limits. Containers with lid deflection outside these limits are rejected. This technology can be utilized on metal cans, glass jars and bottles.
