Product Inspection

Quality control can be easily automated using photoelectric controls.

For example, a pair of photoelectric beams can be used to eject aerosol containers with a missing button. One light beam is directed across the conveyor belt and is used to locate the can. The other light beam is directed towards the position of the button and performs the inspection.

If no button is present, the container is diverted for manual re-processing.

The locator control is set to energize its logic output when the beam is obscured (dark mode). This output is used to control power to the inspector light source. When the leading edge of a can breaks the locator beam, the inspector LED is momentarily turned on.

The inspector control is set to operate when the beam is not obscured by the can nozzle (light mode). This control operates the eject mechanism. If the inspector beam is unbroken, a spray can is missing a nozzle and is ejected.

Inspection can be done at extremely high speed and is not dependent on the line speed or container spacing.
