AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing inspection systems require separate detector units for containers and holding elements, leading to increased effort and costs.

Method used

A multifunctional detector unit that can acquire both container and holding element measurement data in different modes, allowing a single evaluation unit to assess both conditions, reducing the need for multiple inspection devices.

🎯Benefits of technology

This approach minimizes the number of inspection devices, lowers effort, and saves costs by simultaneously inspecting containers and their holding elements, preventing production stoppages and product damage.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (10) for inspecting at least one inspection area (12) for arranging at least one container (18) by means of at least one holding element (14, 16), comprising at least one detector unit (20) in a first inspection mode for determining first measurement data of the at least one container (18) held by the at least one holding element (14, 16) at least in the inspection area (12) and at least one evaluation unit (22) for determining a first inspection result for assessing at least a first condition of at least a part of the at least one container (18) from the determined first measurement data, wherein the at least one detector unit (20) in a second inspection mode is further used to determine second measurement data of at least one section of the holding element (14, 16).16) is designed in the inspection area (12) and the evaluation unit (22) is further designed to determine a second inspection result for assessing at least one second condition of the at least one retaining element (14, 16) from the determined second measurement data.
