Welcome to ADF&PCD Paris 2018
Inline Final Inspection of Aerosol Cans Dr. Ralf Freiberger TEMA GmbH / Mühlbauer Group
Overview 1. Purpose 2. State of the Art: Integration in Line 3. New: Inspection at End of Line 4. Summary
Purpose A can is nowadays more than a simple container! The cans have now become - highly resource-conserving - efficient - almost freely designable objects due to new findings from materials science
Purpose Higher throughputs new materials (recycled aluminum) Thinner wall thickness More complex shapes (more inelastic transformations) More critical defects, even smallest defects have to be avoided! Challenge for better defect inspections! Choice of right image processing technology makes it possible for production window of forming process to be used with maximum efficiency in terms of manufacturability!
State of the Art: Integration in Line
State of the Art: Integration in Line Surface Inspection Print Inspection Can Top Inspection Inspection directly in line saves money, a defective vessel will not pass following processing steps. But: In the following processing steps a new defect can arise, that will not be detected anymore, because it occurs behind the inspection units.
State of the Art: Integration in Line Inspection of print directly behind the printer Inspection of curl & shoulder directly in tool plate of necking machine illumination camera PI (Print Inspection) CTI (Can Top Inspection) Patent granted DE 10 2015 001 332

State of the Art: Integration in Line CTI (Can Top Inspection) Detection of hidden defects One camera system in necker tool-plate with additional optic
New: Inspection at End of Line = Print Inspection + Can Top Inspection + Shape Control
New: Inspection at End of Line Can Inspection Machine: Can handler Inspection units First presentation of demonstrator at Metpack, Germany, May 2017

New: Inspection at End of Line World s fastest new 3D-camera implemented! Shape Control Can Inspection Machine Print Inspection Can Top Inspection 240 / min
3D-Measurement (Laser triangulation)
Images from laser line are taken @ 30 khz and are put together Overexposed for demonstration The thinner the line the better the measurement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/photodiode Sensor Because of Si-based chips detectors have their highest response in red and IR-range. Red laser line produces good response on chip. But line width is too large.
http://cops.tnw.utwente.nl/people/adlag/articles/aftlife.htm 2017/08/23 Laser line bpp=m 2 l Gaussian shape, diffraction limited Deep blue has the thinnest line in VIS Also speckles are reduced (diameter speckle prop. to l) (If roughness of the surface is in the range of the wavelength speckles) Fiber-coupled diode laser with 10 µm (width) blue line Straylight can be filtered out by use of bandpass-filter, just the laser-wavelength is transmitted beam parameter product M 2 beam quality factor l wavelength Speckles
Blue laser with M 2 1.05 Fiber-coupled laser Micro focus line Class 2M ( safe, no housing necessary)
Need of thin laser line blue laser (450 nm) Camera has to be more sensitive

Summary Inspection at End of Line: Print Inspection Can Top Inspection Shape Control Even smallest defects can be detected in the surface in the range of few ten micrometer Of course fully automatized!
Thank you for your attention
