APPARATUS FOR INSPECTING BOTTLE CAN THREAD

摘要

Inspection equipment for screw part of bottle-can which can reliably inspect the screw part of the bottle-can in a short time is provided. Inspection equipment for a screw part 2 of a bottle-can 4 having a mouth section 3 provided with a curl portion 1 in which an opening edge thereof is rolled up outward and the screw part 2 for fitting a cap by threads below the curl portion 1 for attaching the cap with a liner, the inspection equipment inspects a shape of the screw part 2 of the mouth section 3 by imaging an imaging area which is set so as to include a part of the mouth section 3 while rotating the bottle-can 4 around a can-axis X, the inspection equipment including: a rotating device 21 which holds and rotates the bottle-can 4 around the can-axis; a thread-illumination device 22 which irradiates illumination light A toward the screw part 2 of the bottle-can 4 in the imaging area diagonally upward from a radially outside and can-axially lower part; an imaging device 24 which continuously obtains inspection images including reflected light A' of the illumination light A at the imaging area; and an thread-inspection device 25 which inspects the screw part 2 including a thread-starting part by detecting the thread-starting part of the screw part 2 based on an imaging result of the reflected light A'.
