FleXinspect T

  

A Total Inspection Solution

  • Reduced line space and maintenance
  • Higher speeds and larger ware
  • Precise container rotation
  • Non contact vision gauging (plug, ring, dip)

The FleXinspect T gives glass manufacturers a Total Inspection Solution, as the fully equipped system is capable of providing all the necessary cold end inspections. The unique design of the servo-driven handling devices allows inspections that in the past were not possible with rotary inspection machines.

Standard inspections

  • Vision Plug
  • Vision Ring
  • Vision Dip/Saddle
  • Check inspection with modulated lights and sensors
  • Heel dot code mold number for defect correlation

  

Additional inspections

  • Mechanical Plug/Ring
  • Mechanical Dip/Saddle
  • Base
  • Base stress
  • Sidewall opaque
  • Sidewall stress
  • Sealing surface
  • Buttom mold code reader (alpha and dots)
  • Wire edge detection
  • Wall thickness measurement (chromatic)
  • Non contact 2-point out-of-round  (ovality)
  • Verticality (Lean), height, diameters

  

Container range & line speed

The FleXinspect T inspects round and non-round containers from small dia. 16mm x 36mm tall (21mm minimum shoulder height) to large dia. 170mm x 381mm tall (260mm maximum shoulder height). The FleXinspect T operates at speeds up to 400 BPM depending on container shape and size.

Reduced Line Space and Maintenance

  • Multi function configurations reduce the total number of machines per inspection leg
  • High speed machinery reduces the number of inspection legs per forming line
  • Significant maintenance and labor savings due to fewer inspection machines in the production area  

  

Higher Speeds and Larger Ware

  • New starwheel design allows for higher speeds on large diameter containers
  • Flexible starwheel pocket configurations to maximize throughput (BPM)
  • Synchronized servo technologies to optimize overall machine efficiency

  

Precise Container Rotation

  • Servo driven rotator with modular design for improved operation and maintenance
  • Servo technologies providing rotation performance feedback
  • Modular design allows for maximum setup flexibility

  

Non Contact Vision Gauging (plug, ring, dip)

  • Elimination of possible contamination or damage to the finish
  • High speed operation with improved accuracy
  • Simple and quick setup with no need for tooling
