For the inspection of bottle caps and neck finishes, Matsusada Precision recommends horizontal X-ray inspection systems equipped with Computed Tomography (CT).
Horizontal models allow liquid bottles to be placed upright during inspection. This orientation enables the X-ray beam to pass directly through the cap and neck area, avoiding interference from the liquid contents or the bottle body.
Using a rotating stage, the system captures images from 360 degrees. The CT scan functionality visualizes internal gaps and seal defects that are invisible using standard 2D fluoroscopy. Furthermore, the system can generate 3D data for comparison against CAD models, ensuring precise quality control.
The precision µB4500 is a horizontal benchtop X-ray system designed for these demanding applications. It accommodates samples up to φ120 × H175 mm and features a wide observation area. Equipped with a 3-megapixel Flat Panel Detector (FPD) and a 90 kV X-ray tube, it captures high-resolution CT images, enabling clear observation of metal caps and multi-material seals.
