Lab measurements equipment is highly accurate, but based on sampling a selection of the entire production. Because of that defective seams can be detected too late and inconsistently. Or worse; by the customer.
The in-line Seam Inspection module inspects the complete seam around the can. The module is positioned in-line to inspect 100% of the produced cans, non-destructively. Various can sizes and can shapes are inspected without any product handling. The inspection is available for high line speeds.

The Code Reading module inspects ink-jet, laser and thermotransfer codes on various packaging types, including (infant formula) cans, beverage cans, labels, cartons, film, foil and PET bottles. The Code Reading module checks if codes are present, complete, readable or correct.?
The Empty Can Inspection system is able to detect defects quickly and accurately on the flange, bottom and the inner sidewalls of the can.
Leaking products is one of the most common risk issues. At first it frustrates the production process by leakage and pushed off loose (snap)caps . And worse, it has effect on the product integrity and customers health.
