FILTEC General Manager David Booher expressed excitement about showcasing a range of machine Vision solutions at Pack Expo.
FILTEC (www.filtec.com), a leading global provider of fill line inspection solutions, will demonstrate its latest machine Vision solutions at PACK EXPO Las Vegas. Pack Expo showcases advanced packaging equipment, materials, and containers from exhibitors around the globe, and runs from September 11-13, 2023, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
FILTEC General Manager David Booher expressed excitement about showcasing a range of machine Vision solutions at Pack Expo. He states, "FILTEC solutions are extremely flexible and can be seamlessly integrated into any stage of the production line. With Filtec's modular Vision platform, implementing Vision inspection to enhance efficiency, minimize waste, and boost production has become more accessible than ever before."
At booth 2106 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, attendees can view the following solutions:
Remote Vision Inspection: Filtec's Remote Vision Inspection (RVI) Modules utilize modern Vision technology for a number of inspection applications, including date and lot code inspection, label presence, closure, color, fill level, and more. RVIs have a very small line footprint and integrate with the FILTEC INTELLECT inspection platform to provide compact and flexible quality assurance inspection solutions for containers on most fill lines.
Fill Level Inspection: Filtec is the leader in rigid container Fill Level inspection and at Pack Expo 2023, it will demonstrate Photon, Vision, and Remote Vision Fill Level inspection machines, including a 360-degree Fill and Closure solution.
Empty Can Inspection: The Filtec Empty Can Inspection Solution is a highly configurable system that uses Vision technology to detect defects in empty cans on lines running up to 2,400 cans per minute (CPM). It uses a dual circular top lighting station that illuminates the inspection area to inspect a can's flange, surface, and bottom.
Vision Label Inspection: The Filtec Label Inspection Solution uses state-of-the-art Vision technology to inspect the placement and condition of glue-on and shrink-sleeve labels for line speeds of up to 1,000 containers per minute. Advanced imaging capabilities combined with the INTELLECT platform ensure that only containers with perfect labels make it to the point of sale.
FILTEC will also demonstrate its powerful INTELLECT container inspection platform at the convention. "By leveraging our INTELLECT platform and quantitative analysis software, we enable manufacturers to achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy, efficiency, connectivity, and waste reduction - in real-time," explains FILTEC Global Product Manager Dave Coleman. "INTELLECT empowers our customers to optimize their production processes and ensure exceptional product quality for customers at the point of sale."

Featured Product

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
