The Process Pilot® automated blowmolder control system is a combination of software and hardware interface components that work in conjunction with the Pilot Profiler™measurement system to provide a hands-free means to maintain the blowmolding process.  The Process Pilot control system utilizes feedback from the Pilot Profiler™ system to continually monitor material distribution and automatically adjust blowmolder settings to maintain optimal bottle distribution characteristics, without operator intervention. The Process Pilot system eliminates time-consuming manual steps in the blowmolding management process, resulting in reduced process variability and improved bottle performance and quality.

“The Process Pilot system can control the blowmolder process to a level of precision unmatched by methods that rely on limited feedback from weight-based data.”

The Process Pilot automated blowmolder control system offers more effective management of common blowmolder issues such as:

• Preform variability
• Startup transients
• Environmental changes
• Operator experience
• Overall more consistent blowmolder operation
• Reduced process and environmental variability
• Improved ability to light weight
• Improved overall bottle quality and performance
• Reduced rejects and scrap

Features

• Easy to use, “set and go” style operation
• Adjustable process control limits
• Built-in alarms and controls to protect the blowmolder
• Simultaneous management of multiple parameters including oven lamps, pressure, preform temperature and timing
• Compatible with all major brand blowmolders
• Seamless integration with Agr Pilot Profiler™ distribution monitoring systems and Pilot Vision inspection system

The Pilot Profiler™ in-the-blowmolder material distribution measurement system offers real-time measurement feedback for PET containers, at the point of production, on every container produced.  This system provides the high accuracy material distribution data that is essential for the light weighting, quality management and process control functions in today’s high speed blowmolding operations.  It is compatible with all major brands of rotary blowmolders.

The Pilot Profiler™ system features a compact non-contact measurement unit that is positioned within the blowmolder to measure bottles as they exit the mold. This system can be fitted with up to 32 sensors to produce a comprehensive thickness profile over the entire sidewall of a container.

Pilot Products offer the following benefits:

• Ability to monitor material distribution changes anywhere on the bottle
• Improved blowmolder management and monitoring capabilities
• Improved preventative maintenance and diagnostic capabilities
• Ability to identify material shifts, process problems and random distribution-related events as they happen
• Reduced job start-up time
• Elimination of destructive testing
• Ability to proactively manage light weight activities
• Reduced held product, scrap and regrind

Features

• In-the-blow molder measurement 
• Up to 32 measurement locations
• Multi-level control limits
• Integration with blowmolder reject system for elimination of out-of-spec bottles
• Mold and spindle correlation of data
• Easy-to-understand user interface
• Throughput of up to 100,000 bph
• No job-specific sensor adjustment
• Seamless integration with Agr''s Pilot Vision defect detection system
• Compatible with all major brands of rotary blow molders
• Ready compatibility with Agr’s Process Pilot automated blowmolder management system
• Optional M-Rule shelf life management tools available

The Pilot Vision™ system is a modular vision-based inspection system that mounts inside the blowmolder to provide detection of random occurring defects during the production of PET bottles. This system offers manufacturers a means to critically evaluate preforms and blown bottles for defects that may compromise the quality of the finished product.

Pilot Vision is available as a stand-alone system, or as part of Agr’s Process Pilot® automated blowmolder management system.

Defect detection where it is most needed

• Preform 
• Bottle Finish Seal       
• Bottle Sidewall
• Bottle Base

Pilot Vision can identify a wide range of commonly occurring defects:

• On preforms -- contamination, crystalinity. opaque spots, un-melts, bubbles/blisters, burn marks, water spots, streaks . . .
• On bottle finish seal -- nicks, dents and scratches in seal surface, surface irregularities, seal surface integrity, inner/outer diameter, ovality, blown finish, choked neck, short shots . . .
• On bottle sidewall -- neck folds, clarity and consistency, crystalinity, contamination, dark spots, holes, under-blown containers . . .
• On Bottle Base – holes, opaque spots, foreign particles, un-melted material, under-blown and improperly formed feet, folds, off-center gate, gate size, gate ovality/tears, gate holes . . . .

Features

• Small profile permits compatibility with all major blowmolders in use today
• Up to 6 cameras for comprehensive inspection
• Multi-spectrum LED illumination
• High-resolution imaging with throughput up to 100,000 bph
• High-speed image processing
• Proven industry specific algorithms, designed specifically for containers, for finish, seal surface, base and sidewall
• Easy operation and setup
• Built-in process control tools
• Compatible with all major brand blowmolders
• Seamless integration with Agr Pilot Profiler™ distribution monitoring systems and Process Pilot automated blowmolder control software

 Additional modules available:

• Sidewall/Label
• Base

The OptiCheck™ vision-based inspection and process monitoring system incorporates a modular, expandable approach to bottle quality management.

The OptiCheck Sidewall/Label System provides the inspection requirements to effectively monitor and manage sidewall and label defects that commonly occur in the bottle production process. The unique optical arrangement, as well as multiple high-resolution cameras, in conjunction with long-lasting LED lighting, makes 360 degree inspection coverage possible on bottles that are translucent or opaque. The OptiCheck Sidewall/Label is compatible with bottles of a variety of shapes, styles, colors and materials.

Common sidewall defects detected:

• Folds
• Contamination – foreign materials
• Opaque spots
• Holes
• Missing or distorted features
• Flash

Label inspection capabilities: 

With OptiCheck, the label is treated as part of the overall bottle inspection and is inspected at the same time as the bottle sidewall for common label problems including:

• Correct label
• Position, vertical and horizontal
• Skew
• Missing or distorted features
• Label defects, marks, imperfections
• Bubbles, wrinkles, darts
• Torn, flagged or missing components

Features

• 4 camera optical design for 360º coverage
• Multi-spectrum LED illumination
• High-resolution imaging
• Automated zone scaling
• High-speed image processing
• Inspection throughput >36,000 bph
• Large library of tools and analysis routines specifically designed for container sidewall and label inspection
• Small footprint
• Ability to integrate with other OptiCheck modules
