The inspection units are operated via a high-resolution colour touch screen.
During operation, the screen displays current production data in the selected language.
If necessary, the operator can switch the program language online.
For monitoring and adjusting purposes, the display provides largesized images, either of the actual specimens on the production line or loaded from a prestored sequence of pictures. A context sensitive help function covers all the adjustment procedures. A variety of access levels protected by individual passwords makes sure that only authorised personnel carry out their designated tasks. All production data and parameter changes can be attributed to the person in charge over a period of one year. Furthermore, you can feed the production data into a data base. If a PC network is available, you can apply a separate software tool that turns any connected PC into a supervising workstation.

SYMPLEX MULTIKONis a modular built system which can be built up both as complete system (SYMPLEX MULTIKON-NCI) and Subsystem SYMPLEX SIMKON.
The inspection modules of YMPLEX SIMKON are based on components which are also used at the SYMPLEX MULTIKON-NCI. Merely the complex bottle
handling can be abandoned.

The SIMKON without bottle handling
offers the following inspections:
 sidewall- and sidewall-
    stress-inspection:     SIMKON-SW
 dimension
    inspection:              SIMKON-DW
 finish inspection:      SIMKON-FIN

The MULTIKON-NCI with bottle handling expands the function as follows:
  base- and base-stress-inspection
  mould number reading

The available inspection modules comprise a constantly widening range of
inspection functions. If you can not find your required function in the list below, please feel free to contact us directly. We might already be working
on exactly the feature you need.

Using a special optical system MULTIKON-SIM-SW can show the specimen from
up to four different perspectives in on station. Applying two stations you get a
seamless 360° view. Illuminating the specimen with a light source that sends its
rays through the specimen, all the defects become visible as dark contrasts.

A special dark field illumination concept makes tensions in the wall areas
visible as bright spots. The corresponding containers are then removed
from the production line. The defects are not visible in normal lighting
conditions and, therefore, require a separate inspection.

At this station, the container finish is inspected from above. Using a dark field lighting
the system detects all relevant defects such as chips. With a broad variety of tuning
options, this function can be adapted to any kind of inspection requirement. Special
algorithms, such as the LFO detection (line over finish), make this station the ideal
tool for the quality assurance in the container glass industry.

The dimensional control examines the containers from various perspectives. Comparing the contour to a
reference the system can detect all kinds of dimensional flaws such as sunken sides, leaners and bent necks.
