2 Control System
# Topic Comments
1 description the control system of the InLine consists of 2 mayor component:
- the real time system, which is responsible for the control of the
inspection modules and interfaces to rejectors, sensors and third
party components
- the human machine interface, called "PILOT"
2 real time system - Spectrum reflexx
- multiprocessor environment
- modular configuration depending on task, speed, etc.
- emphasis on up- and downward compability of releases
- hardware and software 100% HEUFT in house development
- supply of spare parts are guaranteed during at least 12 years
3 interface with the operator - "PILOT" HMI
- 14" touch screen LCD
- Linux operating system
- hardware 100% HEUFT in house development

4 container tracking YES - a datasheet tracks every single container through the inspector
5 system to discriminate original YES
details within the bottles, such - the HEUFT reflexx technology works with fast hardware filters
as: logos embossing, supplier - strucures in the glass, like embossings, knurling marks, notches,
brand, writtings etc are identified as integral part of the bottle
(returnable/non returnable) - nevertheless, faults behind these structures are still detected
joint of the bottle mould , without
bubbles, deformed glass and - the inspections in these areas will fully carried out, as the details in
different shades of colour the bottles are identified as part of the bottle.
6 options - HEUFT PILOT for external access
- remote service
- HEUFT PROFILER
- test bottle procedure
- reject rate control

3 Infeed and Infeed Check

# Topic Comments
1 description - bottles arrive to the infeed of the InLine without pressure,
with a very small distance to each other, thus keeping the
required conveyor speed as low as possible
- the infeed verification detects and rejects faulty containers to
avoid production stoppages
2 infeed check YES - standard inspections:
- bottle too high
- bottle too too low
- dropped over bottles
- improper diameter
- broken bottles
- remaining closures
3 reject system at the infeed check YES
- in order to avoid production stoppages
- soft Delta-FW rejector: 100% guarantee of rejection of faulty
bottles of any kind
4 “mandatory“ distance between NO - just pressureless
bottles at the infeed required
5 pressure between bottles at the NO
infeed required
6 system to separate the bottles at the not required
infeed
7 finish blow unit or finish moistening YES - optional
unit

variations in colour shades. shade of current bottle in order to guarantee a uniform ilumination (so
far only possible with strobe lamps
8 scuffing inspection separate software tool for scuffing level evaluation
It can be also adjusted to the scuffing stripes, by means of the
sidewall programm.

ring and scale within the
sidewall inspection area

5 Finish Inspection
# Topic Comments
1 description - the finish is inspected with a colour camera
- 4 LED rings illuminate the finish from different angles, with different
colours and with individually adjustable intensity
- this combination allows to inspect different areas of the finish
sealing surface individually and thus ensures a very reliable
detection of extremely difficult faults, e.g. underchip
2 number of cameras for the 1x colour camera
finish inspection
3 finish camera resolution 1034 x 779
4 centering of the finish accurate software centering by means of 32 scans up to a deviation of
inspection 6 mm, which lead to a remarkable decrease of false rejections
5 illumination system for the 4 LED rings with different colours and with different angles of
finish inspection illumination
6 specification for the finish - fragmented cut on the sealing surface for crown and screw closure
inspection 3mm x 2mm x 2mm
- underchip: 5mm x 3mm x 3mm
- reliability 99,9%

6 Thread Inspection (optional)

# Topic Comments
1 description - the thread is inspected from both sides with cameras
- a mirror system guarantees multiple images per each camera, thus
ensuring a 360° inspection of the thread
2 number of cameras for the 2x cameras generate 8 pictures (+360° inspection)
thread inspection
3 finish camera resolution 1024 x 764
4 illumination system for the same as for finish inspection
thread inspection
5 specification for the thread - reliability: 99,9%

through the finish
- a second base inspection may be optionally used to focus on the
detection of transparent foils; this option consists of a dedicated
camera, illumination and special filters
2 number of cameras for the 1x camera (standard) or 2x cameras
base inspection
3 base camera resolution 1024 x 768
4 centering of the base YES - combination of hardware and software centering

6.2 specification for the second - polarized foil 3mm x 3mm within the central area and 4mm x 4mm
base inspection within the area
- reliability: 99,9%
7 influence of knurling marks, - the Heuft reflexx technology uses object filters which assure that
reference notches or similar these marks or details on the container base are identified and do
marks, which are part of the not affect the inspection efficiency
bottle - even faults behind these details are detected reliably
8 automatic cleaning of YES - double function:
illumination and containers 1 cleaning of the illumination by air blasts in regular intervals
2 cleaning / drying of every single container base by air blasts before
starting the inspection

- special developments are available for specific tasks description
2 rejector for finish faults and - typically MONO rejector (into a bin). Not available for infeed check
broken containers
