Description
BIS – Bottle Inspection System
The Bottle Inspection System (BIS) is a gauge built to Industrial Equipment Specifications to measure the finish dimensions of HDPE bottles including T, E, H, S, N, height and Finish Flatness. Optionally, it can also measure bottle diameter at multiple locations. The BIS uses a digital camera and a set of lights to obtain profile images of the bottle’s finish and performs an analysis of the images to determine the finish measurements. The algorithms for the thread finish measurements are programmed in the software and require no operator assistance.
The user interface for the BIS is based on a Windows XP PC. Data from the tests are automatically logged to Zontec.
