The INTELLISPEC™ platform provides a comprehensive set of inspection solutions for high performance aluminum or steel can production lines. Multiple inspection locations exist based on production line layout and necker/flanger, light tester and conveyance equipment types, and dual reject stations facilitate defect sorting capability. Inspection modules and sensors are strategically placed, allowing defects to be traced back to equipment components include Body maker ID and Spray Dot. Pressco’s advanced Draw Mark Filtering algorithm distinguishes between legitimate defects and harmless draw marks, preventing good cans from being rejected. We can also detect the presence or absence of the rim coat through the use of UV illumination.
