In addition to preventing defective PET containers from reaching the filler position, the Intellispec vision inspection system also embeds pressco's patented linked process monitoring technology. It is composed of associated sensors and self-developed software. This monitoring capability can monitor the status of any station at any time. As a result, all defect information can be directly transmitted to the blow molding unit. Intellispec's software can even produce a convenient and intuitive graphic to represent this relationship. Whatever the cause (defective blow molds, feed arms, discharge arms, or transfer rollers conveying the preforms in a heated tunnel), users of Sidel blow molding machines can instantly know which position has occurred. problem. This can save a lot of troubleshooting time, Luka explained.
The Intellispec inspection system also detects and records the weight of components in real time, Luka added. “In the traditional production process without using the Intellispec system,†Luka said, “A quality control person is required to take a bottle from the production line and then cut it with a tool to check the quality of each part of the bottle. The Intellispec system is no longer required to do this job. When the bottle is still being transported, it can be automatically tested on various parts before it is discharged to the blow-molding machine."
"The Intellispec detection system allows us to more effectively detect the distribution of raw materials on the containers. This was not possible before," said Michel Picandet, Sidel's vice president of marketing. "We decided to influence the quality of the bottles. There is a very clear understanding of the factors."
