Cap inspection and fill level inspection system for beverage containers

Ensure precise cap application and fill level measurement in high-speed bottling operations, eliminating non-compliant containers to maintain quality and regulatory standards in your production line.

Inspects Caps and Measures Fill Levels

The IT700-IoT and CL700-IoT from Antares Vision Group offer a seamless solution for comprehensive cap and fill level inspection in the beverage and packaging industries. The IT700-IoT module performs detailed checks to ensure correct cap application, analyzing integrity and positioning across various cap styles like flat, tethered, and sport-cap. The CL700-IoT module provides precise fill level measurements using X-ray, infrared, and high-frequency technologies to handle diverse liquids and packaging, minimizing regulatory non-compliance. With a compact design, this system integrates multiple inspection tasks into a single efficient operation, reducing costs and conserving production line space. Operating under continuous, high-speed automated settings, these IoT-capable systems allow for remote monitoring and data analysis, enhancing production efficiency. Engineered for versatility, the system accommodates up to five cameras and offers tailored configurations like tethered caps and foam compensation, ensuring optimized performance across different bottling applications.
