Container Automation Systems partnered with GP Resources to offer a real-time wall thickness measurement system for plastic bottles and containers, referred to as the WTS (Wall Thickness System).
The wall thickness system is installed on an existing conveyor downstream of a blow molding machine for 100% product inspection.
The system reads the thicknesses of each container in desired locations and stores the results in a database. The results are displayed instantly on charts, providing immediate feedback information for a machine operator to quickly adjust and
optimize blow molder settings after changeovers and during daily production.
The wall thickness system can also be set to automatically reject containers that exceed specified thickness limits with an automatic air blast blow-off.
It can be integrated with other CAS packaging line products.
