Guide to Cap and Fill Check using Vision Inspection Systems
Cap Presence and Positioning Applications
A missing or cocked cap on a product package can result in unnecessary product waste and costly rework, which leads to lost profits. Our systems quickly identify products with missing or improperly-applied caps, removing them from the production line and alerting operators to the issue. Systems can also verify the correct color of cap is present, should different cap types or colors indicate different product varieties.
Fill Level Detection
Unnecessary product giveaway is a source of lost profit, and under-filled products can result in trouble from government regulators. Along with cap presence and positioning, our vision systems are also capable of performing fill level inspection on clear and tinted bottles in order to ensure that all packages have been properly filled.
Tamper Band Inspection
For many products, a tamper-evident device provides reassurance to consumers that the product has not been altered in any way. The lack of such a band damages consumer confidence, and results in returns and rework - and for some products, the presence of a tamper band is required. Our systems help verify the presence of a properly-affixed tamper band on every product.
Smart Cameras and PC Based Vision System
Simple presence of caps or tamper bands can be handled quickly by a smart camera, but depending on the quality inspections desired, additional processing power would be necessary. In that case, a PC-based inspection system can provide high throughput speeds without sacrificing accuracy. If you are unsure which to choose, our experienced team can help determine the best solution for your needs.
