Inspection Machine For New Container Quality Criteria

French-based SGCC, manufacturers & supplies automatic inspection machines for the glass container industry & has developed an inspection machine to respond to the new quality criteria for food containers. The composition of the compound placed on the cover of alimentary jars was recently changed as the previous one was discovered to contain additives which could leach out. This means that there is less tolerance for tightness defects such as dip, saddle and slanting mouths. The Non Contact Planeity (NCP) online machine, responds to these new quality criteria. It is controlled by two high definition cameras placed at 90 degrees to each other.
