  • Precise and reliable STM leak test circuitry
  • Ability to test over existing conveyors
  • Positive bottle handling
  • Testing speeds up to the 60 to 80 BPM range
  • Capability to test bottles up to 6" in diameter with standard frame types
  • Multiple setup configurations
  • Integrated gate and reject functions
  • MCM computer program
SX-Flex

Features:

  • ALPS Smart Test Module (STM) pressure-decay test circuits on common network
  • Independent test stations with quick connectors
  • Internal test leak function on each station
  • Designed to up to 6" diameter bottles nominally, or up to 10" diameter with extended frame length/width
  • Miniature PLC control system
  • High quality fiber-optic photoeyes with one-touch setup
  • Designed to test over existing continuous conveyors
  • Gate cylinder assembly
  • Stop cylinders on downstream station, or all stations
  • Optional ALPS designed and fabricated 'hold tooling' or 'nest tooling' mounted to stop cylinders
  • Adjustable angle probe assemblies
  • MCM software to interface with STM network while machine is running
  • Extruded aluminum frame with ratchet handle adjustments and horizontal/vertical scales
  • 'Expansion ready' options
  • Topload, choked neck and handle-flash detection options
