FAQs
How can vision inspection systems benefit bottled-product manufacturers?
Bottle inspection systems can benefit manufacturers by supporting the quality of packaging such as bottles and jars. They detect defects or alignment errors in caps or lids which can lead to contamination or spoilage. Bottle and cap inspection systems can also improve production efficiency by reducing the need for manual inspection. This enhances quality control procedures, helps prevent costly recalls, and ultimately improves customer satisfaction.
What are the different types of bottle inspections that can be performed with vision inspection?
METTLER TOLEDO bottle inspection systems offer a comprehensive approach to quality control, encompassing various inspection capabilities:
- Empty bottle inspection: The system verifies that bottles are free from defects like cracks, chips, deformations. This reduces the likelihood of contamination and product waste.
- Fill level inspection: The system checks that transparent or translucent bottles and jars are filled to the correct levels, preventing under- and over-filling.
- Lid and cap inspection: This process checks for the presence, proper placement, and integrity of caps and lids on beverages and more. Products with missing, loose, or damaged caps are automatically removed from the production to protect product safety and quality.
- Label inspection: Machine vision technology is used to verify bottles for the presence and correct orientation of labels, as well as data accuracy and legibility. This is an important step for meeting regulatory requirements and keeping with brand quality standards.
