FT-50 Fill Level Inspector Service Manual
1-8
Inspection Accuracy
The basic fill level inspection accuracy is ±0.4 mm. The accuracy
obtained during production will degrade based on glass or plastic
quality, liquid motion, foam, and conveyor speed.
The FT-70 can maintain accuracy at conveyor speeds up to 350
feet/minute (107 meters/minute) with a maximum velocity
change of 15:1 (encoder versions only). The actual rate will vary
depending upon the product density, container density, container
size and shape, and container spacing.
Physical Size
The FT-70 is available in three sizes based on the dimensions of the
inspection tunnel. Larger containers require a larger inspection
tunnel. The size of your FT-70 was specified when you placed your
order.
