Can Check

The hiss when opening a beverage can results from precise filling quantity and pressure, which must be carefully controlled. To ensure this, AT Sensors and EVT developed a 3D scanning solution that inspects up to 3.5 million cans per day at maximum speed. Running flawlessly for over eight years, the system optimizes production and prevents costly downtimes.

Piecework Filling Inspection: Checking 2,400 Cans per Minute

In the beverage industry, fill volume and pressure control are crucial to prevent quality issues and production downtime. AT Sensors and EVT developed a 3D scanning solution that uses the CS 2040 3D sensor to detect defective cans directly on the conveyor belt—at a speed of up to 3.5 million cans per day.

Challenge

The biggest challenge in developing the Can Check application was to inspect the pressure of cans directly on the conveyor belt using a 3D scan—at an extreme speed of up to 3.5 million cans per day. At the same time, the system needed to be highly precise, reliable, and seamlessly integrable into existing production lines to prevent downtime and optimize quality control.

Solution

AT and EVT developed a high-precision 3D scanning solution that uses the CS 2040 3D sensor to measure can pressure directly on the conveyor belt. With integrated real-time data processing and a specialized tracking system, defective cans are detected and removed within milliseconds—at an impressive speed of up to 3.5 million cans per day. This combination of precision, speed, and seamless integration has ensured uninterrupted 24/7 operation for over eight years.

Your Benefits

Flawless Functionality

The application works so flawlessly that in normal operation, at most one can per day needs to be sorted out due to a defective surface condition.

Inspection at Maximum Speed

The cans are inspected for their pressure directly on the conveyor belt at lightning speed in a 24/7 operation through 3D scanning, and in case of any deviation, they are removed by compressed air within milliseconds.

Reliable Quality Management

Can pressure inspection significantly contributes to eliminating downtime, optimizing the inspection process, and greatly increasing can production.
