Extremely User-Friendly
Set-up, data analysis or identifying the cause of system failures are easy step-by-step processes using the touch pad keyboard. A multi-product memory, continuous display of all count and inspection data and online help make PECO's Gammas the user-friendliest case inspection systems available.

Low Maintenance, Long Life
PECO's "No Touch" sensors are combined with robust, low maintenance, self-lubricating, stainless and delron case ejectors that have proven life expectancies in excess of one million operations. Cases up to 50 pounds can be smoothly rejected at line speeds of 150 cases per minute.

Flexible, Economical Contents Verification
PECO's Gamma Case Inspection systems offer a flexible, economical approach to contents verification that extends well beyond the capabilities of a vision based or check weighing system that cannot "see" into open or closed cases.

Common applications include inspecting multi-packs and closed or open cases at full line speeds for missing, broken and under-filled containers and detecting residual containers or debris after uncasing operations.

Easy Set-Up and Changeover
The Gamma's versatile mounting arrangement permits easy installation of the Gamma Case Inspection system on any packaging line conveyor without modification to the line itself. The Gamma's multiple product memory, adjustable inspection windows and optional auto or manual height adjuster guarantees fast changeovers from one product to the next.

1. Threshold Settings (Full Trip/Empty Trip)
The Case Inspector utilizes digital threshold settings to establish acceptable/rejectable levels. The trip level is the setting above which (for Full inspection) or below which (for Empty inspection) the Case Inspector will signal a reject pulse. Either condition is enabled or disabled with the ON/OFF switch and may be enabled simultaneously.

2. Inspection Timing
(Initial Delay/Row Delay/Inspection Time)
Precise quartz timing, together with flexible design and entry, affords each critical timing parameter to be optimized. The Initial Delay times the package from entry into the inspection zone until inspection commences. The Row Delay times the package from row to row after the initial delay. The Inspection Time sets how long each row or container is inspected.

3. Good/Bad/Total Count
Complete tabulation is continuously maintained of all inspections. Each can be displayed by depressing the keypad. Good and Bad Counts equal Total Count.

4. Rows/Case Option
Inspection can be tabulated either by rows or cases.

5. Row Fault
This function allows the display to indicate the case row in which the last fault occurred, facilitating identification of the faulty container.

6. Data Entry
All data is keyed in through the keypad. Only when the "Enter" key is depressed is the data accepted by the system.
