IntraVis CapWatcher II cap inspection system

The IntraVis Vision Systems CapWatcher II is a cap inspection system that can inspect up to 144,000 caps per hour for defects such as: open and closed - short shots and long shots; spots; height deviations; broken tamper bands; deviations in the length of the gate; micro holes in the head plate; damage to the seal cone; colour deviations; damaged flaps; and linear inconsistencies.

The system inspects the caps on a vacuum belt, using an industrial-rated CCD camera using either colour or greyscale technology to identify the defects. It can be equipped with up to five cameras that can inspect the inside and outside, including the cavity and number of the caps.

IntraVis has recently added an additional option to the CapWatcher II - the inclusion of a print inspection unit that has an extra camera and an additional vacuum conveyor. The caps can be transferred to the second conveyor for presentation to the sixth camera that inspects the print quality at a speed of 1500 caps/min.
