Electrostatic challenges: Solutions for detecting perforations in products

„"Perforations in products can be detected using high voltage, which generates a spark through the perforation."“

The problem

Perforations in products can be detected using high voltage, which generates a spark through the perforation. A common application is checking the injection point of injection-molded products, such as yogurt cups, bottles, and containers.

Note: Drawings and images do not depict the application exactly, but rather illustrate the situation and approximate reality.

The solution

One special electrode It can be placed under the product. Inside the product, a ground electrode is positioned opposite the injection point. Even very small perforations can be detected, which cannot be detected by vacuum or pressure systems.
