TEMA CTI-NECKER backside

TEMA CTI-NECKER backside for can and bottle head inspection is Mühlbauer’s new compact and price efficient system solution which has especially been designed to inspect top, side, and backside of the flange together with the can shoulder by use of one camera and in one analysis image. The inspection unit is installed in the necking machine directly on one of the tools. Positioning of the cans/bottles and process timing are very accurate. The machine movement enables the can head to enter the lighting unit which makes the illumination very efficient. TEMA CTI-NECKER backside spots defects like cracks, split curls, burrs, dents, deformation, stains, and pollution on and behind the flange; furthermore shoulder defects like stains, pollution, dents, deformation, cracks, coating defects, and even print defects. An additional inspection module for inspecting the upper range of bottle necks is available. TEMA CTI-NECKER backside communicates with the machine control and gives a defect signal every time a defective can/bottle has to be rejected.
