摘要： Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for measuring a thickness of a container. For example, a control device may receive data indicating a surface topology of the container and based on the surface topology of the container, instruct a multi-axis positioning system to position a sensor relative to a first point of the container such that: a distance from the sensor to a surface at the first point is about equal to a predetermined distance; and the sensor direction is about normal to the surface at the first point. Data indicating the thickness at the first point may be received from the sensor.

摘要： Apparatus and an associated method for inspecting translucent containers to determine whether haze or pearlescence exists include a light source and associated photodetectors which are in spaced relationship to permit passage of containers to be inspected therebetween. A processing unit determines whether a particular predetermined linear array of photodetectors has been illuminated to indicate the presence of pearlescence, whether a conical light beam has illuminated a circular array to indicate the presence of haze or whether neither defect exists. In a preferred embodiment, individual portions of the container less than the full circumference are tested with the results being cumulatively determined so as to minimize the likelihood that minor defects will provide a false reading of the presence of either haze or pearlescence. Counters, which are preferably electronic in nature to afford adequate speed of response may be used to total separately the number of sensors illuminated in the haze category, pearlescence category or no defect category and a comparison made to determine which of the characteristics exist for a particular container.

摘要： A method of inspecting a container for the presence of adhesive in desired locations includes providing an ultraviolet light source which impinges ultraviolet light on the locations where adhesive is desired and sensors which receive fluorescent light from the adhesives and thereby determine which locations have the desired adhesives. The sensors emit signals which may be employed to directly or indirectly cause rejection of any container not having adhesive at the desired locations. It is preferred to use long wavelength ultraviolet light on the order of about 325 nm to 375 nm. The apparatus provides a container supporting member, an ultaviolet light source in overlying relationship with the container and sensors which receive light fluorescing in the adhesives at the desired locations. It is preferred that the ultraviolet light source means be disposed between the container and the sensors and that the sensors have a plurality of independent individual or sets of sensor units which are adapted to receive fluorescent light from a single source.

摘要： A method of inspecting a transparent container for refractive defects includes positioning a light source in spaced relationship with respect to a detector which is operatively associated with a processor for receiving electrical signals from the detectors responsive to light passing through the container being received by the detector. The method includes positioning a grid filter having a plurality of alternating dark and light bands adjacent the light source so as to provide a multiple intensity gradient to the container. The container is positioned between the light source and the detector with the grid filter serving to provide adjacent alternate light and dark bands of light impinging on the container. Refractive defects will cause a distortion of the intensity gradient which will be received by the detector. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of light and dark bands are generally horizontally oriented and produces a generally triangular wave having a constant absolute slope. A processor is employed to receive the electrical signals emitted by the detector responsive to the light impinging thereon and make a determination as to whether refractive defects exist while ignoring desired irregularities in the container. Corresponding apparatus which employs alternating light and dark bands in the grid filter and in the preferred embodiment employs dark bands of single intensity gradient and light bands of single intensity gradient. Each band has a constant gradient of light intensity passing therethrough. The grid filters produces a triangular wave having a constant absolute slope.
