Smiths Detection has debuted its glass-in-glass inspection system. The Eagle QuadView uses a four-beam design which offers an evaluation of glass containers. During the capping process glass shards can occasionally break off and fall into the crown of the jar because of the speed of the operation. The QuadView’s beams are angled specifically to cover the crown and automatically remove problem jars from the conveyor line. The system evaluates up to 1,200 jars per minute and is capable of identifying wall and crown thickness variations. The system automatically adjusts filter algorithms, optimizing settings to reduce undetected incidents.
