Inverted Can Label Detector
IS625
DETECTS WRONGLY ORIENTED CANS IN THE LINE, SUCH AS INSIDE-OUT OR UPSIDE-DOWN
The Innosen IS625 Inverted Can Label Detector detects incorrectly oriented printed can bodies, including upside-down and inside-out cans, on 3-piece canmaking lines. By analyzing the printed decoration on the can body, the IS625 helps identify orientation problems before incorrectly oriented cans continue through production, reducing spoilage, Hold for Inspection (HFI), and customer complaints.
The IS625 works with both colored and black-and-white printed decorations and is best installed between the side seam lacquering station and curing oven.
Common Questions From Canmakers
Why is can orientation important?
Printed decoration needs to be presented in the correct orientation on the finished can. An upside-down or inside-out can body can result in incorrectly positioned decoration, the internal protective coating being exposed externally, or a can being welded on the wrong side.
The IS625 detects incorrect can orientation during production so the affected can can be rejected before it creates a downstream quality problem.
What problems can an incorrectly oriented can cause?
An incorrectly oriented can body can create several quality problems, including:
- Cans welded on the wrong side
- Internal protective coating exposed on the outside
- Incorrectly oriented printed decoration
- Increased spoilage
- Hold for Inspection (HFI)
- Customer complaints
The IS625 is intended to detect these orientation problems before they become downstream quality issues.
Does the IS625 require frequent recalibration?
The IS625 uses fully automatic recalibration, reducing the need for manual calibration by operators.
How does the IS625 detect upside-down and inside-out cans?
The IS625 analyzes the printed decoration on the can body to determine its orientation.
It can detect incorrectly oriented cans with both colored and black-and-white printed decorations, allowing the same sensor concept to be used across different decoration styles.
Where should the IS625 be installed?
For optimal results, the IS625 is best installed between the side seam lacquering station and the curing oven on the can line.
This location allows incorrect can orientation to be identified before the affected can progresses further through the production process.
Does the IS625 need a separate controller?
No. The IS625 is a self-contained sensor and does not require a separate controller.
This can simplify installation and reduce the amount of additional equipment required around the production line.
