PET planet Insider Vol. 20 No. 10/19 www.petpla.net 67 67 a European trade show. The inspec- tion system, which is optimised for the quality inspection of standard bever- age closures, convinces above all with its innovative inspection solutions and the abundance of high-quality information it supplies about each inspected closure. The CapWatcher Q-Line checks up to 60 closures per second on typical features, such as sealing ele- ments, threads and the tamper evi- dent band, and for the first time an inline inspection system measures the temperature of the closures. “Especially in connection with our reliable and robust cavity reading, temperature measurement gener- ates real added value through the accurate prediction of the shrinkage behavior,” says Christoph Wynands, Product Manager Caps & Closures. Software development in combination with CapWatcher Q-Line In combination with the Cap- Watcher Q-Line, the new IntraOpti- mizer software is introduced, which is intended to take the idea of the closed loop of Drinktec 2017 to a new level. During ongoing produc- tion the system takes high-precision measurements, collects extensive product data, and feeds this infor- mation into the newly developed software in real time. The correla- tion and analysis of the product and process data now offers the unique possibility of process optimisation, controlled by the inspection system. With the help of a well-founded database and machine learning algorithms, the operator at the production line receives a weighted selection of recommendations for action, and can work through them according to prioritisation.

Performance in the IML segment Intravis will be presenting the IMLWatcher at four booths with a dedicated version of the inspection software IntraVision which is com- pletely focused on IML defects. The new inspection software is characterised above all by a simplified setup of new products on the inspection system. The new comprehensive statistical functions enable an optimal analysis of the production line. The inspections have been improved so that the IMLWatcher can now cope with the most difficult applications. All IMLWatchers are now equipped with the IntraVisualizer trend and analysis software. It evalu- ates the machine and process data of all the Intravis systems used by the customer and other machines connected to the production lines simultaneously. Furthermore, the IntraVisualizer visualises all data graphically and reveals trends and serial defects before they arise. Inter- ested parties can view and test the IntraVisualizer on their mobile phone. Smart camera solution for printing system The smallest system in the long list of Intravis inspection systems is the IntraOne single-camera solution. Integrated into a printing system of the partner Tampoprint, the system inspects for the presence and accu- racy of a laser engraving on the inner top plate of standard beverage closures. www.intravis.com TRADE SHOW PREVIEW Hall Booth Exhibitor Product 11 A58 Intravis GmbH World first for preform inspection 13 A61 Husky Injection Molding Systems S.A World first for preform inspection 15 D22 Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Plastics Machinery GmbH CapWatcher Q-Line incl.
