Agr International: new line of vision inspection products for plastic containers introduced

Agr International, Inc. will be exhibiting at NPE 2012, Booth 149. An array of Agr products for the quality management and testing of plastic containers will be featured at this year's show.

At NPE 2012, Agr will feature its latest in vision inspection products including:

• Pilot Vision, Agr's all-new vision-based inspection system that mounts inside the blowmolder to provide detection of random occurring defects during the production of PET bottles. This system offers manufacturers a means to critically evaluate preforms and blown bottles for defects that may compromise the quality of the finished product.
• OptiCheck system which features a new level of vision-based quality management for rigid plastic containers. This all-new multi-camera inspection system offers versatile yet comprehensive detection for the entire bottle including seal surface, sidewall, base and label defect detection as well as laboratory-precision finish gauging, on the conveyor line. The OptiCheck system is designed to meet the needs of manufacturers that produce bottles in a wide range of shapes, sizes, materials and colors.

In addition to the Pilot Vision system, Agr will also demonstrate the other members of the Process Pilot family of products for PET container production.
