Glissando

Overview

The Glissando is Peco InspX’s high performance glass-in-glass X-ray inspection system.

The Glissando offers extremely high performance inspection by including an inspection through the bottom of the glass container as the package is conveyed on an X-ray optimized conveyor belt (requires package transfer).

Multiple X-ray tubes create high amplification of foreign material on the bottom of the container.

Height adjustable X-ray beams allow inspection of a wide range of glass container formats from small baby food jars to very large gallon pickle jars.

Customers are encouraged to consult with a Peco InspX sales specialist to determine which inspection machine is best suited for their glass application.

Features

Modular Design

All subsystems have been designed with the maximum system availability, redundancy, and fault tolerance in mind

Fill Level Measurement

High precision fill-level and headspace monitoring

Conveyor Drive

Remotely controlled Powerflex 525-based variable frequency drive and sealed sanitary rollers

Real-Time Remote Support
