CONTROL OF DRINKING CUPS AND CONTAINERS WITH METRIX GEO
Save costs and ensure the continuity of product quality !
Large scale manufacturing of food packaging such as drinking cups, pots, or other containers, face many challenges such as continuous production of quality products.
This is ensured by reliable, fast and economical control of product dimensions.
All packaging must respect defined dimensions, thickness and other geometrical specifications to achieve the required properties : stiffness, resistance, capacity to be efficiently stocked and handled automatically, etc.
METRIX GEO is a solution for the control of forms and dimensions. In the case described here, it is adapted to drinking cups control and is equipped with:
- a zone for loading the lots for control
- a 6-axis robot for handling parts between various control stations
- a thickness measurement station
- an outer dimensions measurement station (diameter, taper)
- a weighing station
- an unloading zone with sorting of compliant and non-compliant parts
- software for recording control data and assignment to the controlled part
YOUR MAIN BENEFITS
FAST AND ECONOMICAL SOLUTION
- Much faster than manual control: about 2 seconds per measurement, less than a minute for a full control cycle
- Automation improves productivity
- Parts of various forms can be controlled with a single instrument
RELIABLE CONTROL
- Thickness measurement accuracy within one micrometer
- Outer dimensions measurement accuracy better than 10 micrometers
- Repeatable measurements, independent of the operator’s skill and attention level
- Digital traceability of measurements
