Preform Vision Gauge (PVG4100)
The Preform Vision Gauge (PVG4100) is a high precision, vision-based, measurement station designed to provide accurate and repeatable measurement of PET preforms.
Designed exclusively for the measurement of preforms, the PVG4100 offers a simple, accurate and comprehensive alternative to tedious hand measurements while providing high precision measurements with minimal operator intervention. When configured with the robotic feed mechanism, this device can process a complete shot of preforms (up to 154) in one operation.
Multiple measurement functions available in one station:
- Dimensional gauging – finish and body
- ID
- Weight
Wide range of tools specifically for preform measurement: (image)
- Finish (A, T, E, F, D, S, H, L, W, K, B, X)
- Lean
- Body Diameter
- Inside Bore
- Weight
