Bottle Cap Inspection for Food and Beverage Packaging

Incorrect cap placement and improperly torqued safety rings can signify issues with the closure machine or other systems. It can be challenging to find a bottle cap closure inspection system that checks proper cap sealing and seating.

Ensuring every cap is tightened to the correct torque requirement and specification can be challenging for the capping machine. Finding vision systems that check for torque consistency can be equally challenging.

Quality plastic cap defect inspection becomes crucial when capping heads have suffered wear and tear, leading to inconsistent cap tightness. Also, tiny cracks may be present through which contamination can enter, or leakages can happen.

Detecting damage to bottle threads and safety rings caused by inconsistencies in the operation of a capping machine can surprisingly be difficult for line operators to detect due to quantity and fast-moving line speeds.

AI vision systems use algorithms to accurately identify defects, solve inspection issues related to misaligned caps, and other flaws.

Systems for bottle cap closure inspection must offer ease of use for human operators. Intuitive vision systems like the CV-X Series allow line operators to make advanced inspections through interactive menus.

LumiTrax™ technology provides advanced illumination through the use of LEDs and optical filters to create high contrast imaging so tiny cracks and other minor mishaps are detected even under poor lighting.

A bottle capping robot becomes problematic when it can’t accurately feed caps, receive bottle trays, and place caps due to the absence of the right vision guidance system. 2D vision-guided robotics eliminate this challenge.
