Bottling Gripper
A 6 millimeter Video borescope was used to inspect a Krones bottling machine. This particular Krones machine rotates at a maximum speed of 800 bottles per/minute. It bottles the sports drink powerade. The clearance between the base of the machine and the rotating section is approximately six millimeters.The Initial problem was discovered when metal shavings were found inside one the port holes due to an imbalance. The video borescope was inserted inside one of the port holes to find the point of contact. Still images were captured along with video of the borescope inspection.
