The Intravis GmbH introduced a new system, which is called Sample-Prewatcher for comprehensive inspection of PET preforms. Sample- Prewatcher is designed to provide a continuous in-line quality analysis, thus assuring users ‘defectless production’. The Inspection comprises measurement of critical dimensions, spectrophotometric color analysis, and analysis the presence of UV blocker and barrier material. The system also checks the core coaxially, measures the length of the injection point, and checks both the body and thread area for contamination, crystallization, short shots, scratches and other typical preform defects. One highlight is the cavity oriented statistics capability. Each preform is examined precisely and the result is assigned a separate cavity number. In this way, at all times, there is clear overview as to which cavity causes an error. This system can also be used as an “off-line” stand alone set-up, thus allowing use as a quality checking system to support more than one injection molding machine. QUARTERLY ISSUED BY THE
