摘要： In accordance with the present invention, methods and machinery are provided for automatically inspecting shaped, lined closures and rejecting those which fail to meet pre-established criteria for shape and seal. Specifically, shaped closures having concave interior portions and resilient sealing liners are supplied to an inspection station comprising one or more female inspection nests for receiving individual closures and one or more respective male inspection heads for insertion into the concave portions of respective closures. The inspection heads are provided with exterior shapes approximating the interiors of ideal closures so that penetration into the closure indicates the conformity of the closure to the ideal. Preferably, the inspection head is connected to a source of pressurized fluid for testing both the depth of penetration and the adequacy of the sealing ring. Closures capable of maintaining a seal at a predetermined level of pressure are automatically passed and closures failing to meet this test are automatically rejected. A preferred embodiment for accepting crown bottle caps from a plurality of lining machines is described in detail.

摘要： An array of objects in a predetermined sequence and direction of orientation, such as semiconductor chips, is tested and batch sorted by a sorting fixture having a matrix of locations with individually actuable vacuum pickups, while maintaining a predetermined direction of orientation of the objects. A system for this purpose includes a tester for measuring a characteristic of the objects in the array while maintaining them in a predetermined sequence and direction of orientation. Means for storing a result based on the measurements for each object in the array is connected to the tester. The sorting fixture for batch separation of objects with the desired characteristic on the basis of the stored results from the remainder of the objects is connected to the means for storing to allow selection of the objects on the basis of the stored results. Means engageable by the sorting fixture receives the objects having the desired characteristic. The selection and release of the objects to the means engageable by the sorting fixture are both carried out while maintaining a predetermined direction of orientation in the selected objects, enabling reorientation of the objects during their handling to be eliminated.

摘要： A handler/sorter for articles such as the trays of integrated circuit chips is provided with an unstacking elevator system, an inspection station, a sorting station for repopulating the tray with non-defective integrated circuit chips, and an output station. The output station has a stacking elevator which is essentially the mirror image of the unstacking elevator at the input station, reducing the number of different parts. The elevators employ pneumatic or linear motor drives which gently place the trays on the conveyor shuttles, without rattling the integrated circuit chips. In an optical inspection embodiment, a focussing elevator is provided at the inspection station. The focussing elevator operates in response to focus control signals issued by a scanning camera system. Transportation between the respective stations is provided by a pair of conveyor shuttles which employ linear motors. Such motors, which are computer controlled, have advantageously adjustable acceleration characteristics and ride smoothly on a bearing of air. In operation, the handler/sorter performs its functions at the respective stations substantially independent of one another, resulting in greater throughput.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for automatically recovering product from a partially-filled multiple cavity package, such as a "blister" package, are disclosed. Automatic product recovery is necessary for reducing the cost associated with the partial filling of blister packages when mass producing products, such as pharmaceuticals, that are packaged together in units. A preferred embodiments of the invention comptises a feeler and an associated photoelectric switching device disposed so that the penetration of the feeler into an unfilled cavity causes the photoelectric switching device to actuate. The actuation of the photoelectric device triggers means for recovering product from the package. The recovering means comprises air jets for dislodging the product from the package, a holding vessel, and a vacuum for transferring the product into the holding vessel. If timed recovery is desired, a microprocessor circuit for automatically triggering the recovering means at a predetermined time, is also provided.

摘要： A capsule-inspection apparatus includes a base and a capsule-receiving tray slidable on the base to cause all of the capsules cradled in pockets formed in the tray to be turned simultaneously about their longitudinal axes to enhance visual inspection of substantially the entire exterior surface of the cradled capsules. An inspection mask is positionable on the tray to permit a user visually to inspect the coating dip line of coated caplets cradled in the tray quickly and easily to determine if the coating dip line is located substantially in the middle of the caplet to ensure that the caplet coating causes the caplet to resemble a two-piece capsule.

摘要： An apparatus for receiving and handling empty beverage containers. The empty containers may be received either individually or in cartons upon a moving conveyor. An alignment mechanism separates the containers and moves them to one side of the conveyor. A switch arrangement senses cartons, so that the system can process cartons of empty containers in a different manner than individual empty containers. The containers, whether individually or in cartons, pass through an illumination station wherein they interrupt illumination falling upon a row of photocells. Output signals from the photocells are transmitted to identification circuitry together with clock signals generated in synchronism with the movement of the conveyor. The identification circuitry generates registration signals, which are used to compute value of the containers being received. A paddle mechanism shifts the cartons to a separating station, which forwards properly filled cartons to a storage area. Improperly filled cartons are returned to a point near the receiving area.

摘要： Means are disclosed for automatically filling a group comprising a large number of empty bottles with fluid such as water, advancing the entire group of filled bottles to a first test station where an axial load comparable to capping pressure and internal hydraulic test pressure is simultaneously applied to the mouths of all bottles in the group, then advancing the previously loaded and pressure tested group of bottles to another station where the presence of any ruptured bottles is detected and such broken bottles are selectively disposed of by gravity drop through a trap door while sound bottles are retained by automatic hydrostatic selective chunks and advanced from the tester to a conveyor discharge. Excess water is captured in a tank below the test table, filtered and recirculated, while broken glass may be removed by a discharge.
