Solo

Overview Features Tech Specs Options

Overview

The Solo is the industry’s top performing, highest speed contactless rigid container inspection solution on the market. The Solo is part of Peco InspX’s family of advanced side view X-ray inspection systems and is specially designed for the inspection of rigid containers (e.g. metal and composite cans, plastic containers, glass and boxes).

The Solo mounts over the customer’s existing conveyor and therefore offers completely non-contact inspection at linear speeds up to 700 feet (233 meters) or 2,000 containers per minute.

The Solo leverages Peco InspX’s proprietary inspection software to detect a wide range of foreign material and container defects (e.g. knocked down flanges).

Finally, maintenance of the Solo is straightforward and inexpensive. Superior Peco InspX service ensures that you’ll have access to immediate support 24X7 via remote monitoring and convenient local service when you need it.
