A&D Company, Ltd. (Headquarters: Toshima Ward, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Yasunobu Morishima) has added an option for a package seal overlap inspection function to the AD-4991 series/PROTEX series X-ray inspection system. This function contributes to the HACCP management system, which will be implemented from June 2020.

Background Regarding Requests for a Package Seal Overlap Inspection Function

If a product being sealed in a package is caught in the seal, the product’s seal will not be airtight, and quality will not be able to be maintained.

For this reason, there are some users who must utilize a lot of time and effort performing pre-shipment visual inspections to check for seal overlaps.

However, visual checks leave room for worry on some production lines, as some types of packaging don’t allow for the product inside to be seen, and the overlaps cannot be detected with optical cameras or photoelectric sensors.

  • Auto-tare and negative comparison functions realizing “take-away” check weighing
  • Highly-visible, LCD display (26 mm character height) with white backlight
  • Quick and easy settings using the alphanumeric keypad
  • Key lock function to prevent operators from making changes to the scale settings
  • IP65 dust & waterproof base unit with a stainless steel (SUS430) pan
