100% Accuracy at 2,000 cpm
PECO’s evolutionary Vac-Trac has a twenty-year history of trouble-free operation in hostile canning and filling environments around the world. PECO’s original Vac-Trac was the first vacuum/pressure sensor or “dud” detector to offer trouble free, non-contact sensing.
Today’s Vac-Tracs deliver 100% accuracy, on virtually any container under pressure or vacuum at line speeds of 2,000 containers per minute. And, because there is no contact with the container being measured, there are no parts to wear out or replace and only a minimum of required maintenance.
Easy to Set-up and Easy to Use -
for Even the First Time User
PECO’s Vac-Trac has evolved over time, and each generation has offered enhanced performance and significant advances over competitors’ attempts at “dud” detection. This latest generation, employs a “user-friendly” program that incorporates a selection of graphic screens and menus that allow even neophyte operators to set-up new products almost as easily as recalling an old product.
Set-up is an easy, step-by-step process with “on-line” help available. The Vac-Trac II can automatically set inspection timing and calibrate the optimum trip point for up to 40 products, which can then be recalled by name. In automatic mode, the Vac-Trac II "tracks" changes in lid deflection - and automatically makes threshold adjustments for environmental changes that do not affect container integrity.
On Board Diagnostics
The Vac-Trac II’s on-board diagnostics readily detect causes of system failure including; missing or multiple triggers, un-calibrated or faulty sensors, and inefficient encoder operation.
| C5278-18 for lid sizes of less than 2 inches (50mm). |
| C5278-25 for lid sizes ranging from 2 inches (50mm) to 4 1/2 inches (115mm), or where lid deflection on a can is less than 3/8 inch (10mm) from chime to lid center. |
| C5278-36 for lid sizes of 4 1/2 inches (115mm) and larger or where the lid deflection and container clearance is greater than 3/8 inch (10mm) |
| C5278-42 for deep profile containers such as No. 10 coffee cans where the total sensing distance is more than 5/8 inch (16mm). |
Countless Inspection OptionsA choice of linear, single point or multiple and differential or proportional algorithms allow an almost limitless selection of precise, standard inspection formulas for a wide variety of closures and containers. How Automatic Calibration WorksSamples of known "good" containers are measured and a statistical mean and standard deviation calculated (Represented by the distribution A in the graph to the right). Samples of "bad" containers are measured and their statistical mean and standard deviation calculated (see B), Vac-Trac II then automatically calculates the optimum trip-point and the separation between the means (illustrated by point T1).

Menus:Product ControlFrom the Product Control Menu an operator selects the product to be inspected from the list of products whose parameters and thresholds have been entered. Products are described as understood (e.g. “Medium Salsa 24oz.”). Options From the Options Menu an operator can access set-up choices, including: inspection algorithms, ejectors, and non-vacuum or pressure inspections. Choices are clearly described, for example: Missing Lid, High/Cocked Cap, Tamper Evident Band, etc.
