It is not necessary to align the containers.

The inspection is carried out using a special two-camera system, which increases the focal range and enables precise inspection of even taller containers.
Colour cameras and an application-specific high-performance LED lighting system are used.

The empty containers can be inspected for the following criteria, among others:

  • Deformation, such as dents
  • Ovality
  • Chipping
  • Scratches and cracks
  • Contamination
