On-demand auto-sampling added to the PG5600™ Enamel Rater

A software upgrade of the integrated, color, touch-screen HMI adds support for back-to-back ‘on-demand’ auto-sampling.

This new feature allows the budget friendly, PG5600 automatic enamel rater to interface with a production line PLC to send and receive ‘Get Can’ and ‘Got Can’ commands, directing it to deliver a can or multiple cans for testing.

This functionality enables the PG5600 to effectively request cans directly from the conveyor, thereby improving operational efficiency and streamlining the quality control process. Manual involvement is minimized, ensuring that cans are tested consistently without disrupting the flow of production. It also includes automatic self-monitoring that performs a series of internal checks prior to each batch's commencement, ensuring proper operation.

The integration of back-to-back auto-sampling improves the PG5600 gauge's efficiency while reinforcing its reputation for reliability and cost-effectiveness, providing customers with an even better return on their investment.
