Optical Bottle Beer Flavor Inspection Case Study LE1 Type Optical Type

Achieving high-precision flavor level inspection with a simple detection principle!

This device inspects the amount of contents in a transparent or translucent container and the presence or absence of a cap. The amount of contents is inspected by illuminating the inspection container with a halogen lamp and projecting the image onto a light-receiving surface through a lens. Multiple light-receiving cells for liquid level detection are embedded in the light-receiving surface. As the container passes through, the photoelectric cells detect the light from the image of the container and transmit signals to the control panel. The control panel compares the signals from each photoelectric cell during the brief time the container passes through and determines any excess or deficiency in the amount of contents. The presence or absence of the cap is detected by a proximity sensor, and the detected signal is sent to the control panel. The control panel simultaneously determines both the excess or deficiency of the amount of contents and the presence or absence of the cap. The control panel is equipped with a touch panel, allowing various settings and production types necessary for inspection to be registered from the screen, and the inspection status can also be confirmed on the screen. If the determination results in a defective product, the control panel transmits an exclusion signal to the exclusion device, automatically removing it from the production line. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.*

basic information

The system consists of a detection unit and a control panel. The detection unit uses a unique optical real-image method, and the control panel is equipped with a touch panel for easy operation. Since the detection unit and control panel are separated, there is flexibility in installation work, and wiring work only requires connecting the power supply. Maintenance and adjustments are easy. The logic is organized in a simple sequence, and the operating status is displayed on the touch panel, allowing for easy maintenance and adjustments while viewing the display. There are almost no running costs. The only consumable, the incandescent lamp, uses commercially available products, making it inexpensive. For more details, please feel free to contact us.
