Abstract
Implementations disclose methods and devices for closure control of containers. A method includes performing, by an inspection apparatus, optical 3D measuring of a closed container, the closed container comprising a closure coupled to the container; generating, by the inspection apparatus, 3D data based on the optical 3D measuring; and processing, by an evaluation device, the 3D data to determine at least one of tightness or correct seating of the closure relative to the container.
Claims20
A method for closure control of a container, the method comprising:
- performing, by an inspection apparatus, optical 3D measuring of a closed container, the closed container comprising a closure coupled to the container;
- generating, by the inspection apparatus, 3D data based on the optical 3D measuring;
- and
- processing, by an evaluation device, the 3D data to determine at least one of tightness or correct seating of the closure relative to the container.

An inspection device for closure control of containers, the inspection device comprising:
- a transport apparatus to transport a closed container comprising a closure coupled to a container;
- an optical 3D measuring sensor to capture a three-dimensional (3D) image of at least a portion of the container and the closure;
- and
- an evaluation device to process the 3D image to determine at least one of tightness or correct seating of the closure relative to the container.
