Modernize your cold end without changing the layout
The FleXinspect T180 - gen III allows glass plants to replace old machines with modern technology. Replacing FP’s with the FleXinspect T180 - gen III 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.
