The new quality inspection with capLAB
The fully automatic in-line pull-off tester
capLAB+
With the extended version capLAB+, additional tests corresponding to the local markets can be made. This makes it possible to check the connections (tether) for the target values defined by the EU Commission.
In addition, with capLAB+ the closures can be tested for leaking.
Closed loop
Based on the values found by capLAB corrective actions may be needed. When a slitting machine is forming the bridges, knife temperature settings would be automatically changed to keep the pull values in target range, means a fully automated process for constant cap quality over lifetime of a knife. Communication to the moulding machine/mould will be available to stop the line in case of a major quality defect. In cases where the root cause of unacceptable TE band performance may be linked to a specific cavity on a mould or spindle on a slitting machine, the operator will be informed to address the root cause directly.
Data Management
capLAB contains a separate screen for its operation and data analysis. In addition, the database also can be transferred easily to onsite production data monitoring or QC systems. Customized screens showing the measurements per cavity can be accessed directly at the user interface of the injection moulding machine (available for dedicated brands).
Layout
With the compact design it can be integrated into existing lines with an integrated vision inspection system from various suppliers. Numerous layout options are possible.
