INSPECTION 25 PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 07+08/25 www.petpla.net The new SpotWatcher by Intravis Modular inline bottle inspection INTRAVIS presents its new SpotWatcher, a state-of-the-art bottle inspection system. With its high-speed capabilities, intelligent automation, and modular design, the SpotWatcher offers new opportunities in inline inspection technology. The idea behind the SpotWatcher is intended to combine two features. Firstly, it is modular and can therefore be flexibly adapted to many of the customers’ circumstances. Secondly, all modules are standardised, this results in short delivery time and high reliability, says INTRAVIS. The SpotWatcher is engineered for universal applicability across all common materials including PP, PET, HDPE, and LDPE. It supports the inspection of bottles and containers up to 400mm in size and can inspect up to 48,000 objects per hour. The system covers all standard inspection criteria, ensuring comprehensive quality assurance in high-throughput production environments. Automatic product changeover A special feature of the SpotWatcher is its fully automatic product changeover. With a simple selection in the software interface, operators can switch to a different product type. Subsequently, hardware components such as the conveyor belt, separation unit, and cameras automatically adjust to the new product configuration – eliminating the need for manual intervention. This reduces setup times and minimises the risk of operator error. “The SpotWatcher is a milestone in our mission to deliver intelligent, userfriendly inspection systems,” says Dr Gerd Fuhrmann, CEO of INTRAVIS GmbH. “It combines precision, speed, and ease of use in a way that truly supports our customers’ production goals.” Advanced colour and contamination inspection INTRAVIS explains that the SpotWatcher is equipped with highresolution colour cameras, detecting the slightest colour deviations, resulting in consistent colour quality across production batches. Additionally, the system performs contamination inspection identifying the smallest contaminations or defects with precision. Modular design for maximum flexibility Thanks to its modular architecture, the SpotWatcher can be tailored to a wide range of customer requirements. “With the SpotWatcher, we offer a system that adapts to the customer’s needs without compromising on performance or delivery time,” adds Roland Nagel, Sales Manager at INTRAVIS who has overseen many bottle projects over the last ten years. “Its automatic adjustment features and high-resolution inspection capabilities make it a game-changer for the industry.” www.intravis.com Components such as cameras and clamping belt conveyors automatically adjust to new products at the touch of a button.
