We have found that we can detect very small defects in critical locations. In the finish, the bead, under ring, shoulder, base, side walls. Any place that checks or other reflective defects appear, we are able in the great majority of cases to obtain enough reflection from them to allow the inspection machine to remove the faulty container from the production line.

 

The top photo is the mini-luminaire. This is a total re-design, the next photo down is a Emhart luminaire modified to accept a 5mw red laser. All of the lasers that fit in the luminare designed for them can also be retrofitted to the Emhart heads.

 

Soon to be added is the Micro-luminaire, this luminaire is about one half the size of the

Mini-luminaire. Two of them will fit in the area of 1 of the Mini's or 3 in the area occupied by the modified Emhart unit.

 

Mini-luminaire dimensions 72mm x 19mm at caps, 26mm at lock nuts. and 28.5mm at attachment point

 

Micro-luminaire

 

Modified Emhart luminair measures 83.5mm x 26mm at lock nuts and 30mm at attachment point.

 

We can supply lasers in many common wave lengths.

 

670, 650, and 635nm for red, orange pink and amber glass.

532nm for the common green glass used in wine bottle production.

515-520 nm for very green glass and glass with green tending to cyan.

445-450 and 473 nm for blue glass.

405 nm for purple and deep violet glass.

 

We can also obtain lasers in the 580-595nm region, the most common is at 593nm, which works quite well with the amber and brown glass. Note these lasers are expensive and

large, if red or green will give a good response we recommend one or both colors. 

 

Infrared, near infrared and Ultraviolet lasers are also available for special applications.

 

We can deck out your Veritas iM for much less than the alternative solutions with very good results
