FleXinspect BC

  

Inspection system for all your vision inspection needs

  • Unmatched inspection accuracy
  • Maximum throughput at minimum speed
  • Reduced job change downtime
  • Optimized container stability at high speed

 

Comprehensive vision inspection

The proprietary design of the FleXinspect BC includes 360-degree wraparound lighting and patterned lighting for 100% sidewall inspection of containers to precisely pinpoint both opaque and transparent defects. Polarized lighting is utilized for stress inspection to ensure detection of defects that may be missed by conventional methods. When equipped with a mold reading option the FleXinspect BC mold correlates results from all installed inspections.

Available inspections

  • Sealing surface
  • Base
  • Base stress
  • Vision plug gauging
  • Wire edge
  • Vision dip/saddle
  • Mold Reading
    • Bottom up mold reading
      or
    • Top down alpha code/bottom dot reading
  • Opaque sidewall defect (6 views) with dimensional inspection
  • Transparent sidewall defect (6 views)
  • Sidewall stress with polarized lighting (6 views)
  • Shoulder inspection (6 views)
    • Opaque shoulder
      or
    • Stress shoulder

  

Container range & line speed

The FleXinspect BC inspects round, non-round and tapered containers with heights from 38mm to 381mm and diameters from 16mm to 170mm. The FleXinspect BC can operate at speeds up to 600 BPM depending on container shape and size.

Unmatched Inspection Accuracy

  • High resolution camera technology for improved defect detection (1.4 megapixel)
  • Programmable long life LED illumination providing repeated accurate results
  • Stable, precise and efficient ware handling

  

Maximum Throughput at Minimum Speed

  • Ware volume sensors monitor bottle input (BPM) and automatically adjust conveyor speed for maximum throughput
  • Integrated container spacing device delivers optimal spacing
  • Minimum spacing allows for reduced linear conveying speeds

  

Reduced Job Change downtime

  • Inspection setup wizards for accurate repeatable changeovers
  • Simplified mechanical adjustments for quick and easy setup
  • Self learning tools with pre-programmed defects and sensitivities

  

Optimized Container Stability at High Speed

  • Improved container stability for round, non-round and tapered ware due to individually adjustable servo belt handlers
  • Integrated container separator releases container at conveyor speed
  • Precision conveyors for smooth transfer through the inspection areas of the machine
