Dud Inspection Sensor Alignment

4
Before you align the dud sensor you must configure the inspection
head and inspection trigger to the proper height for fill level
inspection and calibrate the fill level inspection. Align the dud
sensor immediately after all fill level inspection adjustments are
complete. For more information refer to the service manual
provided with you inspection unit.
Also, verify the following:
• The containers are centered on the conveyor so they pass
directly under the center of the dud sensor.
• The dud sensor face is parallel with the top of the
containers.
Note: Aligning the dud sensor can change the height of the
inspection trigger. After you align the dud sensor, verify the
inspection trigger height has not changed.
1. Locate several good production containers. These should be
containers that pass all inspections. If the height of the
containers varies slightly, select the container that is the
shortest.
2. With the conveyor moving slowly and no production
containers present, place the good container on the conveyor
upstream of the inspection head.
3. Watch the container as it passes under the dud sensor and
verify the container is centered directly under the dud sensor
as it passes under the sensor.
4. Stop the conveyor and place the center the good container
directly underneath the dud sensor.
