Offline inspection and sorting

A standalone station with its own feeder, for plants that cannot stop or rebuild the production line to add inspection.

Offline inspection connects to nothing. The machine has its own material feeder, you tip product in, and it comes out sorted. That makes it the practical route when the moulder has no floor space beside it, when the line is leased or shared, or when you need to inspect stock that is already made.

It is also how a quarantined lot gets released. When a customer complaint points at a batch sitting in your warehouse, an offline station can re-sort that batch at hundreds of pieces per minute instead of putting twenty people on a table for a week.

A full offline preform line can include a dumper, storage system, lifting machine, feeding machine, the inspection machine and a conveyor. Each producer chooses how much of that to automate, but the inspection machine is the core that cannot be left out.

What this involves in practice

01

Feeder selection

The feeding device is matched to the part: caps, preforms, bottles and cups each need different orientation and transport before they can be imaged.

02

Standalone installation

Power, compressed air at 0.5 to 0.8 MPa and floor space. No modification to your production equipment.

03

Batch re-sorting

Load the accepted standard for the part, run the suspect batch, and get a counted split between accepted and rejected product with the statistics to support a release decision.

04

Redeployment

Because it is standalone, the same station can be moved between parts and between lines as your production mix changes.
