Modernize your cold end without changing the layout
The FleXinspect T180 allows glass plants to replace old machines with modern technology. Replacing FP’s with the FleXinspect T180 lets glass plants utilize the space without additional expensive layout modifications. Its increased throughput reduces the number of inspection loops (2:1 reduction is typical) in factories.
PIC compatible
- Reports the inspection results and CID information into the PIC system.
- All inspection results can be configured to directly match the mapping from other FP machines installed on the line.
Reduced line space and maintenance
- The “all in one” inspection configuration reduces the number of machines needed per inspection leg.
- High operational speed minimizes the number of inspection legs needed per forming line.
- Significant maintenance and labor savings are achieved due to fewer inspection machines in the production area.
Complete cold end inspection
- Total inspection solution.
- Provides all the necessary cold end inspections.
- The unique design of the servo-driven handling devices allows inspections that are not possible with rotary inspection machines.
Higher speeds and larger ware
- The 840mm starwheel design allows higher speeds on large diameter containers.
- The starwheel pocket configuration can be optimized to maximize container throughput.
- Synchronized servo motor motions optimize the machines, increasing efficiency.
Precise container rotation
- A servo-driven rotator with a modular design improves operation.
- Servo technologies provide rotation performance feedback.
- Modular design allows maximum setup flexibility.
