See Online Vision Systems at Work in New Bottle Zone

Pressco Technology Inc. is showcasing its newest vision inspection solutions for companies that manufacture and fill containers for the food and beverage and related industries. Pressco’s booth in the Bottle Zone (South Hall)  has live demonstrations of “up-and-down-the-line” inspection capabilities.

In the blow molder, Pressco offers a combination of camera modules that detect defects on the preform and/or the empty bottle, including virtual section-weight measurement, which is vital to process control. On the filling side, Pressco’s solutions include a multi-camera system for filled bottle inspection to detect misapplied closures, tamper-band defects and under/over-filled bottles. Additional inspection options may be deployed at the cap feeder, labeler, date coder and case-packer.

These inspection capabilities are controlled via a single centralized processor with one or more operator interfaces, which eliminates the inefficiency of multiple platforms from different suppliers. Pressco’s integrated system of distributed inspection means that one vendor can provide sales and service, training, technical support, spare parts, etc. on the entire vision system.
