CAP INSPECTION
IT700 VISION INSPECTION SYSTEM
IT700 Vision System for Cap Inspection
The FT System IT700 Vision system will detect cap defects 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 IT700 is ideal for detecting
 High caps
 Cocked caps
 Missing caps
 Missing tamper bands
 Damaged tamper bands

IT700 VISION TECHNOLOGY – Theory of Operation
The FT System IT700 Cap Inspection system uses independent
front and back inspection units to capture the image of each
container. Each unit includes a camera with microprocessor for
image acquisition and processing and industrial optics. The
enclosed inspection tunnel utilizes an analog light driver to
control lighting intensity. As the container passes through the
system the independent cameras capture the image of the front
and back of the cap. If a container has shifted out of position, FT
System special “dynamic position compensation” algorithm
compensates for the movement and adjusts the image. Each
feature of the cap is then analyzed to determine if the feature is
within the user defined tolerances. The systems advanced
gauging tools can utilize the bottle neck ring or shoulder contour
depending on the container design. This allows the IT700 to use
a consistent reference point regardless of variations in container
height. The system will analyse the cap height in relation to the reference point at multiple locations across
each axis. The system will also analyse the tamper band to determine if the band is damaged or missing.
