Product Inspection

Inline product inspection is very important in the context of high-speed manufacturing/packaging processes. For each individual inspection, there is only a short period of time available in which the product has to be transported, positioned and inspected precisely. The most important inspection technology, due to legal requirements in the food sector, is weighing and the fact that the total weight of a product (contents and packaging) can be used for a completeness check and underfill/overfill detection in addition to level controls. 

Next come optical and X-ray inspection systems, followed by metal detectors. In combination machines, checkweigher and X-ray system are linked to each other to ensure correct foreign body detection and weight determination on the smallest footprint – an advantage if existing lines are to be extended and there is not an unlimited amount of space available. Similar combination units exist in the case of X ray systems combined with optical inspection systems.
