INSPECTION 19 PETplanet Insider Vol. 21 No. 07+08/20 www.petpla.net menting telecentric camera, telecentric lighting and new algorithms, the result is a fully calibrated measurement system capable of measuring to an accuracy of +/- 5 μ m (T/E) on 100% of the bottles. Certified calibration Each system is calibrated during installation using a certified calibration tool. This tool is manufactured and certified though a 3 rd party company, which specialises in measurement certification, and a letter of certifica- tion is supplied with each tool. For companies requiring annual certifica- tion, IMD can provide a visit to re- calibrate and certify the Boco Scan or the tool is available for customers to perform the calibrations and certifica- tion themselves. IMDvista Portal Through the IMDvista Portal Software, these measurements can be saved and exported directly to the quality management systems, freeing up valuable time for quality depart- ment to perform other tasks. IMDvista login Security is a priority: The system includes a state-of-the-art vein scan- ner. This hardware features uses an infrared sensor to “scan” the blood veins in the operators hand. Each person’s blood veins are unique to that person only. This method is far more secure than traditional methods of fingerprints or RFID tags. Unlike tags and passwords, veins cannot be shared with others. With three levels of access to the system, the vein scanner will automatically log each person into the level of access they have been granted. Quick and automated changeover IMD has developed the Boco Scan to be easy to operate. The system can inspect and measure a large range of bottle sizes without the need for any changeover parts, reducing the oper- ating cost and risk of lost changeover parts. Additionally the most impor- tant cameras, such as the measure- ment and top cameras positions are automated for reliable and repeatable results. Complete inspection solution To round-out the system additional inspections are available:  Thin wall inspection and material flow 360°  IR control for monitoring of heat profile. Prevention of deformation after cooling of the bottle  Base control - panel inspection  Parting line (also in the handle area)  Neck inside inspection (choked necks)  Thread inspection. www.imdvista.ch +44 (0) 1254 584210 [email protected] petmachinery.com Active for over 25 years, our global network and specialist knowledge makes us the go-to company for the sale or purchase of a PET machine.
