Problems solved by technology

As a result, the size of the gap between container and closure cannot be reliably determined on the outermost edge of the closure
Identification of an overturned closure in a container is also problematic

Embodiment Construction

[0020] The container 12 is conveyed to the conveying device 20 through the inlet 28. The container 12 has been filled with product, such as liquid medicine, and closed by the closure 14 at a previous, not shown work station. in figure 1 The device shown in is used for checking the closure area or for checking the size of the gap formed between the container 12 and the closure 14. The conveying device 20 is configured as a conveying star, for example. The conveying device 20 has a receiving portion 22 on the outside, in which the container 12 can be fixed. The transfer device 20 rotates clockwise. Therefore, the container 12 first reaches the sensing area of ​​the sensor 18 for determining the height profile. The sensor 18 for determining the height profile is arranged above the conveying path of the container 12. By way of example, the sensor is constructed linearly and at least partially covers the surface of the closure 14 closing the container 12. The sensor 18 for dete...

Abstract

The inventioin relates to a device and method used for detecting a sealing piece. The sealing piece (14) seals a container (12). An analysis processing unit (23) is arranged for obtaining quality criteria (40, 47) especially the gap size between the sealing piece (14) and the container (12). A sensor used for obtaining the height outline of the sealing piece (14) is arranged. At least one output signal of the sensor (18) is conveyed to the analysis processing unit (23). The analysis processing unit obtains the quality criteria (40, 47) according to the output signals of the sensor (18).

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method for inspecting closures. Background technique [0002] The invention starts from a device and method for inspecting closures of the type according to the independent claims. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, the closure is usually placed on a container (such as a bottle). In a further step, the closure and the container are connected by means of a cap. A gap may be formed between the closure and the container. The height of the gap is critical for pharmaceutical manufacturing, because the product may be contaminated in the worst case due to an excessively large gap. Accurate inspection of the gap is important because containers with small gaps can still be accepted to avoid unnecessary waste. [0003] A device of this type is already known from WO 2012 / 061441 A1. Here, the area of ​​the enclosure to be detected reaches the path formed by the laser and the corresponding receiver. The laser beam passes through t...
