Case Inspection Systems

Case TapTone II

The Case TapTone II pressure/vacuum monitoring system is used to test the integrity of a wide variety of food and beverage products. This user friendly system is designed for non-contact, non-destructive, 100% automatic container inspection through a sealed cardboard and/or shrink wrapped case.

The primary function of the Case TapTone II is to inspect containers for loss of pressure or vaccum after they have been placed inside a sealed case. Any case with a container(s) that fall outside the user-set limits will be rejected. In many applications, the Case TapTone II will detect defects other than low pressure or vacuum. Some examples are gross under or over fills, missing cans, missing lids, dented cans, popped safety buttons, cocked caps or broken bottles.

There are two configurations from which to choose.  The first style is an on-line system, which mounts to an existing conveyor usually located after the case packer system. This system is compact and easy to integrate to an existing conveyor. An optional rejection system is available as well as an optional spray marker system to mark the location of defective containers on the outside of the case for easy identification and rework.

The second configuration is a self-standing system with a six-foot inspection conveyor. A typical application for this system is in the warehouse area. This system may have wheels for easy movement to remote areas of the warehouse. There are optional infeed and exit conveyors for ease of palletizing and depalletizing. An optional case rejection system with high speed push rejector is also available for this system.

How it Works -The Case TapTone works by applying an electromagnetic pulse or "tap" to the top of each container inside the sealed cardboard or shrinkwrapped case. The lid of the container vibrates at a natural resonant frequency ("tone") based on the internal pressure or vacuum in the container.  A microphone then senses the resultant tone. The system converts the analog signal to digital and then the DSP board analyzes the output and assigns a value.  Containers outside user-set limits result in the entire case being rejected. An optional spray marker system can indicate the location of the faulty container within the case allowing for easy identification and rework of the case.

Case Tracker

The Case Tracker pressure/vacuum monitoring system is used to test the integrity of a wide variety of food and beverage products. This user friendly system is designed for non-contact, non-destructive, 100% automatic container inspection through a sealed cardboard and/or shrink wrapped case.

 The primary function of the Case Tracker is to inspect containers in closed cardboard or shrink-wrapped cases for loss of pressure or vacuum. Any case with a container(s) that fall outside user set limits will be rejected. In many applications, the Case Tracker will detect defects other than low pressure or vacuum. Some examples are gross swollen cans, missing containers, dented cans, missing lids, popped safety buttons, or broken bottles.

There are two configurations from which to choose.  The first style is an on-line system, which mounts to an existing conveyor usually located after the case packer system. This system is compact and easy to integrate to an existing conveyor. An optional rejection system is available as well as an optional spray marker system to mark the location of defective containers on the outside of the case for easy identification and rework.

The second configuration is a self-standing system with a six-foot inspection conveyor. A typical application for this system is in the warehouse area. This system may have wheels for easy movement to remote areas of the warehouse. There are optional infeed and exit conveyors for ease of palletizing and depalletizing. An optional case rejection system with high speed push rejector is also available for this system.

How it Works - The Case Tracker system works by measuring the curvature of each container through the sealed case using analog proximity sensors. The curvature for each container in the case is analyzed and assigned a merit value based on the curvature measurements.  The system determines whether the container is aceptable or faulty based on user-set parameters. Containers outside user-set limits result in the entire case being rejected. An optional spray marker system can indicate the location of the faulty container within the case allowing for easy identification and rework of the case.

  • Quick set sensor bridge for easy product changeover
  • Speeds up to 150 cases per minute
  • Microprocessor control
  • Shaft encoder timing
  • NEMA 4x, stainless steel, water washdown

Options

  • 6' conveyor
  • Case rejector system
  • Spray marker system

 

Case X-ray

Full case inspection to be installed after the packer on the conveyor for crates, cartons, trays and six packs.

The Case X-ray system is a non-contact inspection for detecting completely packed cartons or crates, missing bottles or cans, inspection for broken bottles, empty carton inspection after the unpacker, and rough fill level inspection of bottles and cans inside the closed cartons.

How it Works: The Case X-ray system scans the cartons with an extremely compact X-ray tube. The system consists of a sensor bridge with height adjustment and a control unit. The sensor bridge is equipped with an Z-ray source and a higly advanced detector. While passing the sensor bridge the carton or crate is scanned by low level X-rays. The evaluation of the sensor signals  is performed by the control unit. Any case with a container(s) that fall outside user set limits will be rejected. An audible or optical alarm can also be activated to alert the user to the faulty case.

Features

  • 100% non-contact inspection
  • Quick set sensor bridge for easy product changeover
  • Microprocessor control
  • Shaft encoder timing
  • NEMA 4x, stainless steel, water washdown

Options

  • Case rejector system
