Said to be the first implementation of visual inspection and high-voltage crack detection combined in a single machine, this module inspects vials and pre-filled syringes for cracks and leaks. A precise handling system orients the containers at an angle of 90–110 deg to at least four high-voltage electrodes (photo), which allows the detection of cracks that have fully penetrated the glass while ignoring surface scratches. The High-Voltage module is fully integrated in the company’s VI and MS families of inspection machines, allowing camera inspection before high voltage inspection. Only products that passed all camera inspections undergo the check for cracks. — Seidenader Maschinenbau GmbH, Markt Schwaben, Germany
