Title:
SEAL FORCE MONITOR APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR IN-PROCESS DETERMINATION OF INTEGRITY OF SEALED CONTAINERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005072222
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and system for determining the integrity of a sealed container utilizing one or more force signals which are converted into absolute force units is disclosed, providing a method that uses quantitative parameters, and can be validated. The force signals are measured in multiple data collection channels, and can be individually enabled or disabled by an operator to facilitate machine setup and troubleshooting. A user interface provides a display showing the force applied during the container-sealing process, as well as summary information regarding the status of multiple container-sealing machines in a production line.
