ServoBelt Rotary Application in Bottle Inspection

This case study details the application of ServoBelt Rotary in a vision inspection system developed by Avid Corporation for the packaging industry. The system utilizes ServoBelt Rotary’s large through-hole and easy installation features to enhance the efficiency of bottle inspection processes. Avid Corporation has been providing automated and semi-automated vision inspection systems for over two decades, significantly improving the accuracy and productivity of quality control operations. The study highlights the advancements in inspection technology, including the new WTS 1000 system, which measures bottle base thickness using a rotary stage. The challenges faced during the design and development of this system are discussed, including the need for a suitable rotary stage and the importance of maintaining a tight development schedule. The ServoBelt Rotary's specifications, such as its low profile and large through-hole, are emphasized as critical factors that enabled the successful integration into Avid’s inspection systems.
