Overview This Krones Linatronic M is an empty bottle inspector for
glass bottles, built in 2018. It inspects every empty container before
filling and rejects any container that fails one of the inspection
stages. The machine combines camera-based base, sealing surface, screw
thread and sidewall inspection with high-frequency and infrared
residual liquid and caustic detection. Two sidewall modules with four
mirror assemblies and four cameras provide a compact full-front view
of the container, and the DualFlash neck finish lighting inspects the
outer and inner sealing surface separately using two minimally offset
lighting angles. Foreign containers are identified at the machine
infeed by height, contour and colour detection. Three Ecopush
rejection points separate foreign, dirty and damaged containers. The
machine is operated from a Krones iPanel CD terminal. Technical data
