A new test instrument has been developed by Ateq, designed for high speed testing of high volume plastic component output, such as bottle tops

A new test instrument designed for high speed testing of high volume plastic component output has been developed by Ateq, worldwide suppliers of production line QC test systems The Ateq Ioniq, easily incorporated into automated production lines or automated test stations, is ideal for testing injection moulded parts, such as bottle tops, for faults at the point of injection, detecting localised plastic moulding faults, and thickness defects or perforations in plastic membranes

The instrument introduces a new process to enable leak testing of plastic components by measuring discharge current between a patented charged probe and a ground plate under the component to be tested.

It detects faults in the order of 10um, testing up to 15 parts per second with a clear pass/fail test result requiring no operator interpretation.

Ioniq features include optical sensor test initiation, 8 outputs for PLC controlled applications and isolated RS232/RS485 interface for printer or MODBUS type network.
