Defect Detection System For Aluminum Caps

FALCON EYE (Aluminium Caps Inspector) is an Italian Artificial Vision system for the inspection of aluminium closures to detect the typical defects of this kind of production. This device is placed at the end of the production line, before packing the caps. The inspection is performed while caps properly conveyed on a conveyor belt. The shell-border and the liner are inspected with a top view. The top-printing (public side) is inspected with a bottom view through a hole in the plate that supports the starwheel, while the cap is kept in the star’s pocket by a rubber belt.
