The unit provides high-speed detection of holes as small as 0.006-in and can check for obstructions in the bottle neck and variations in wall thickness. Other key optional features include color deviation, batch counting, fallen bottle detection, can inspection and larger size container inspection systems.
The leak tester’s B&R color touchscreen operator interface features a graphical display of test results, easy-to-use icon-based menu system, recipe storage, password protection, and automated self-test feature.
