Automated defect detection in PET preform manufacturing

DeepInspect® – High-speed machine vision system for PET preform inspection

PET preform visual quality inspection using DeepInspect AI inspection software enables manufacturers to achieve consistent, high-speed, and zero-defect production. This automated PET preform inspection system uses advanced machine vision and deep learning to perform real-time PET preform defect detection, identifying black dots, bubbles, short shots, gate defects, flash, ovality, scratches, contamination, and neck finish defects. The PET preform camera inspection system integrates seamlessly with industrial cameras and optimized lighting to capture micro-level surface and dimensional variations at ultra-high speeds. With AI-powered PET preform inspection, model training requires fewer than 200 good images and is completed in under 45 minutes, ensuring rapid deployment. Inline PET preform quality control ensures 100% inspection coverage, automatic rejection of defective parts, and actionable analytics on cavity-wise performance and process drift. Unlike rule-based systems, DeepInspect delivers 99.5% inspection accuracy with less than 0.5% false positives, enabling beverage, FMCG, and pharma manufacturers to reduce wastage, prevent bottle failures, and improve overall production efficiency

Inquiry Form

    What is PET preform inspection?

    PET preform inspection is the process of detecting defects in PET preforms using AI-powered vision inspection systems

    Why is visual inspection important for PET preforms?

    Visual inspection ensures defect-free molding, prevents bottle failures, and maintains consistent packaging quality

    What defects are detected during PET preform inspection?

    Common defects include black dots, bubbles, short shots, flash, neck deformities, and contamination.

    How does AI improve PET preform inspection accuracy?

    AI enables automated, real-time detection with over 99% accuracy, outperforming manual inspection.

    Can black dot defects be detected using AI inspection systems?

    Yes, AI vision systems easily detect subtle black dots and contamination inside transparent PET preforms

    How many images are needed to train DeepInspect®'s machine vision model?

    DeepInspect® requires fewer than 200 good images for model training, significantly reducing setup time for AI defect detection.

    Does DeepInspect® need defective (NG) images for AI model training?
