Abstract: Method and system for optically checking molded parts (10) in a transmitted light method, more particularly closures or the like produced by thermoforming or compression molding methods, comprising transporting the molded parts (10) from a transport device (50) through an optical checking area, and recording at least one image of the molded part (10) using a recording device (20), whereby the molded part (10) is located between the recording device (20) and an illumination device (30) and is illuminated by same, whereby the image is evaluated using processing means (40) in such a way that defects of the molded part (10) and/or statistical deviations from a normal distribution are able to be determined, from which conclusions are able to be drawn about a manufacturing process of the molded parts (10) in a molding tool having a cavity, whereby the conclusions are able to be used to control the manufacturing process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a testing method and a corresponding testing system, for example for testing workpieces (2), which are provided for producing containers, in particular beverage bottles, and which can consist of a basic body and a barrier layer that is at least partially applied to the basic body, whereby the workpieces (2) are transported into a receiving vessel (4) by means of a transport device (3), and whereby an image of the workpieces (2) is generated by means of a capturing device (6) and is transmitted to a processing device for testing, wherein the workpieces (2) are led into the receiving vessel (4) upon leaving the transport device (3), whereby the image is generated between the departure from the transport device (3) and the receiving vessel (4) and wherein the image is processed by the processing device in such a way that the quality of the basic body and/or the quality of the barrier layer of the workpieces (2) is tested in order to detect defective workpieces (2).

Abstract: An interim storage device (1) for separated and oriented objects (2) includes an object inlet (3), a rotating turntable (4), a spiral-shaped object path (5), and an object outlet (6). Either the object inlet (5) or the object outlet (6) is in line with the spiral origin (7) while the other is in line with the spiral end (8). The spiral-shaped object path (5) features a fixed spiral (9) which is placed above the turntable (4) without making contact.

Abstract: It is proposed to carry out an optical inspection of preforms (7) by means of at least one camera device (2, 3, 13), in such a way that the preforms (7) are in a relative position to each other that is unchanged in comparison with the injection molding operation.

Abstract: A method and a device for transporting and examining fast-moving objects to be treated, the objects comprising an outer surface and a top surface, (e.g. preforms, bottles, containers, lids, closures). The device comprises an examining unit with an inspection camera and a rejection unit, the bodies being rejected by expulsion using a contactless exertion of force.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and the corresponding system for checking the color quality of preforms (2) intended for the manufacture of containers, in particular beverage bottles, the preforms (2) being transported to a collection vessel (4) by a transport device (3), and an image of the preforms (2) being made by means of an imaging device (6) and being transmitted to a processing device for checking, in which the preforms (2) are led unsorted into the collection vessel (4) upon leaving the transport device (3), the image being made between the leaving of the transport device (3) and the collection vessel (4), and in which the image is processed by the processing device in such a way that the color quality of the preforms (2) and/or defective preforms (2) are discovered.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an accompanying system for inspecting objects (5) provided with a gas-barrier layer. The objects have at least one base layer (5a) of a first material, polyethylene or polypropylene, for example, and at least one gas-barrier layer of a different material, EVA or EVOH, for example. An image-recording module (6), such as an infrared camera, records an image of each object (5) and processes the images by means of a processing module (7) in such a way that faulty objects (5) are detected and eliminated. More specifically, the image recording module (6) creates the image of each object (5) within the invisible light spectrum, and the processing module (7) then examines the recorded image, wherein the presence, the absence or the thickness of the gas-barrier layer is determined on the basis of the image.
