Full bottle inspection: an end to blind spots!
It is not only in the detection of glass in glass that the latest release of the HEUFT eXaminer II XOS continues to push the state of the art for full bottle inspection.
A full container inspection at the end of line is the only way to detect glass splinters that get into the bottles between the empty bottle inspector and the capper and pose a massive safety threat. The HEUFT eXaminer II XOS defines the state of the art for effective consumer and brand protection again and again at the pulse of time not only in this respect.
Thanks to consistently further developed components for pulsed X-ray inspection and intelligent HEUFT reflexx A.I. image processing, which now also uses deep learning to compensate for glass thickness fluctuations and smartly remove image noise and artefacts from the X-ray images.
The latest one goes one better: For sharper images during full-coverage radiometric dual inspection, the compact full-field X-ray imager is now closer to the bottom of the bottle. Also perfected: the integrated HEUFT sinker technology in order to identify foreign objects of a lower density such as pieces of plastic or seals in addition to glass fragments. Just like the HEUFT floater for the more precise optical identification of paper, foil and other foreign objects which float in the beverage.
New types of HEUFT reflexx A.I. color sensor cameras in which an adaptive LED illumination is already integrated as well as an intelligent image evaluation now each generate eight front surface views of the bottle base for this purpose. There are even 16 for side wall inspection, thus ensuring a complete inspection of these areas without any blind spots. Mold, film, and other weakly absorbing foreign substances in the bottle, which are not always detectable with pulsed X-ray inspection for physical reasons, are identified just as reliably as contamination, label and adhesive residues, chips, and cracks.
