Presence check and colour logo inspection

Protecting quality and brand:  reliable identification of unsealed or non-brand containers.

Present, correct brand and safe:  the HEUFT FinalView ^II CAP carries out a complete all-around inspection of the closures using innovative optical technologies.  It goes far beyond merely checking the presence:  not only unsealed beverage containers are reliably identified but also those with non-brand closures.  Powerful colour cameras and a real-time image processing system capable of learning make deviating colouration, designs, lettering and lid logos clearly visible for this purpose.  In this way the quality and the microbial purity of the bottle contents are protected as well as the dress of the finished branded product regarding correct brand and distinctiveness.

Closure position and roll on inspection

Showing the contour:  reliable detection of canted closures and thread faults.

Straight, firm and tight:  the closures of beverage containers must fit correctly.  Crooked, canted screw closures, flagging tamper evident rings or thread faults not only threaten the functionality of the closures but also their tightness and with that the integrity of the product.  The HEUFT FinalView ^II CAP measures the contour of each individual closure area exactly from different perspectives and compares the results with the correct reference values.  Canted closures, incorrectly positioned safety elements, bullnoses, protruding wine corks and many other deviations are therefore reliably revealed.  The roll on and profile inspection even goes one step further and checks the presence and shape of the thread turns of each individual screw closure precisely.  Therefore bottles which cannot be opened safely or are not tightly sealed are exposed in good time.

All-around closure inspection in colour

Clearly identifying tiny safety defects:  continuous inspection of the closure walls.

Attractive, intact and safe:  closure walls and safety elements have to be free from defects.  That is the only way that they can perform their tasks and prevent product leakage and contamination effectively.  Whether cracks, damage or chips in the closure wall, faulty tamper evident and carrying rings, scratched capsules or improperly flanged sparkling wine bottle agrafes:  the compact detection unit identifies all kinds of defects using innovative illumination, camera and real-time image processing technologies.  The high-resolution all-around colour inspection covers far more than 360° in the course of this – blind areas are therefore finally things of the past.

Angle of rotation detection with millimetre accuracy

Aligning correctly:  precise inspection of the closure position.

Correctly applied, reliably sealed and exactly oriented:  not infrequently it all depends on the relative fit of the bottle closure too.  Is it at the right angle to corresponding marking on the carrying ring or on the bottle neck?  In other words:  is it really aligned as it is supposed to be?  The HEUFT FinalView ^II CAP checks this using a special angle of rotation detection.  It compares the results of the colour logo and closure wall inspections with each other.  In this way the correct orientation of the closure can be checked with millimetre accuracy.  Thus neither logos nor lettering are distorted any more.  All the closures are indeed exactly aligned as they are supposed to be.

Fault rejection

Preventing recalls:  the reliable rejection of faulty containers.

Fast, careful and accurate:  highest precision when detecting faults is only effective if the products in question are also removed afterwards.  The single-segment and multi-segment rejection systems of the HEUFT rejector series deal with this both precisely and carefully.

Product monitoring and self-tests

Playing it safe:  exact product tracking and regular self-tests.

Always knowing the current location of a particular product:  each one is tracked precisely for this.  This ensures that none remain uninspected.
