CL600 High Frequency Fill Level Inspection for Glass and Plastic Containers. The FT System CL600 High Frequency sensor will inspect plastic and glass containers for fill level defects. The sensor is designed to mount easily over an existing production conveyor. The ergonomic design provides easy access the control panel and supports fast, tool-less change overs. The High Frequency sensor can be used on still products including water, juice, tea, wine and spirits. The high frequency system can also be used on carbonated beverages and beverages with foam in the headspace with the implimentation of the foam compensation package. The CL600 can be supplied with filler valve monitoring and filler sampling.

CL600 X-Ray Fill Level Inspection for Metal, Glass and Plastic Containers - The FT System CL600 X-ray sensor will inspect metal, glass and plastic containers for fill level defects. The sensor is designed to mount easily over an existing production conveyor. The ergonomic design provides easy access the control panel and supports fast tool-less change overs. The X-ray sensor can be used on still products such as water, juice and tea, wine and spirits. The system can also be used on carbonated beverages including beer and carbonated soft drinks. The CL600 can be supplied with filler valve monitoring and filler sampling.

Inspections include cap inspection prior to the capper to remove defective caps, fill level inspection with filler valve monitoring, cap inspection with capper head monitoring, label presence and placement inspection using a single camera. Aslo shown is the Quality Control Station performing fully automated, non-destructive inspection of fill volume, cap torque and closer angle as well as internal pressure and CO2 volume.

High Technology Inspection and Control Systems from FT System. FT System was founded in 1998 with the goal of becoming a leading supplier of container inspection and monitoring solutions. Our reputation for quality, reliability and customer satisfaction has made us the preferred supplier of inspection equipment to many of the leading manufacturers and system integrators in the food and beverage industry. Since our inception we have grown to become a global leader in inspection and control solutions with more than 3,000 installations in over 60 countries around the world.

The FT System IE4000-3D Vision system will inspect labels on cylindrical shaped plastic, glass and metal containers. Containers can be in any orientation as they pass through the system. The IE4000-3D uses four independent cameras to inspect all surfaces of the container at full production speeds. The system is available with 5 megapixel cameras and analog LED illumination. These features combined generate the highest quality image. The ergonomic design provides easy access to the control panel and supports fast tool-less change overs. The system can be used for food, beverage, household chemical and personal care applications.

IE720 Vision System for Label Inspection - The FT System IE720 Vision system will inspect front and back labels on glass, plastic and metal containers. The system uses two independent cameras to inspect each container at full production speeds. The ergonomic design provides easy access to the control panel and supports fast tool-less change overs. The system can be used for food, beverage, household chemical and personal care applications. The FT System IE720 Label Inspection system uses independent front and back inspection units to capture the image of each container. The system can be configured as a stand-alone inspection unit or integrated into the labeler.

IT700 Vision System for Cap Inspection - The FT System IT700 Vision system will detect cap defects on glass, plastic and metal containers. The system is available with a single camera or two independent cameras to inspect each container at full production speeds. The system's cantilevered design allows for easy installation on existing lines. The ergonomic design provides easy access to the control panel and supports fast tool-less change overs. The system can be used for food, beverage, household chemical and personal care applications. Additional inspections for fill level, leak inspection or label detection can also be added to the system.

The FT System series of high speed standing rejectors and diverters are designed to provide stable displacement of containers at production speeds up to 2,000 containers per minute. The systems can be used to remove defective containers from the production line, divert containers to an alternate production line or remove containers for capper, seamer or filler sampling. The multi finger systems are available in a range of sizes to support different application requirements. The robust design is capable of support large containers.

The FT System QCS120 is a fully automatic non-destructive Quality Control Station. The system uses automated container tracking sensors and software to track the individual container from the time it enters the filler, through the capper and into the Quality Control Station. The system can process up to 120 containers per hour. Once inside the station each container can be tested for up to six inspection parameters. The data is stored for the individual filler valve and capping head. The system is designed to improve and automate the manual quality control process.

The FT System QT700 Vision system will detect defects in plastic and metal closures prior to the closure being applied to the container. The system uses cameras to inspect each closure at full production speeds. The system will detect defective caps that may prevent proper container closure, affect the performance of the capper or create a jam in the cap chute.
