Versatile Inspection/Simplified Control - The TapTone 500 provides complete inspection of containers for physical defects, fill level, leak detection, pressure and vacuum. When connected with TapTone PC Software, this value-packed combination provides an unbeatable system for fast product setup, ease of use, timely data collection and reject tracking. The TapTone 500 is a cost effective solution for inspection of your plastic, metal and glass containers.
Acoustic Technology - Measures pressure or vacuum in containers that do not have a measurable lid deflection—such as beer bottles, coffee bricks, plastic jars with composite closures and milk-based drinks in steel cans. The acoustic sensor works by applying a "tap" to the top of each container. The tone response is directly proportional to the pressure or vacuum inside the container. The frequency of the tone is measured and compared to user set reject limits where containers outside the limits will be rejected. The acoustic sensor is used on metal lids or crowns where the product does not touch the lid.
Proximity Technology - Measures pressure or vacuum in food cans, beverage cans, glass jars, and bottles with pop-button lids 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.
X-ray Technology - Measures the product fill level in steel, aluminum, glass, plastic and paper containers. An X-ray tube is used to produce a low-energy X-ray beam. The X-ray beam penetrates the side of the container in the area of the fill level. An X-ray detector is positioned on the opposite side of the container to measure the intensity of the beam after it goes through the container. The intensity of the beam is then compared to acceptable energy levels to determine the relative fill level of each container. The X-ray sensor is used to measure both overfilled and under filled products in all types of containers.
