METTLER TOLEDO PRODUCT INSPECTION
The product inspection division of METTLER TOLEDO produces a suite of high quality, very reliable inspection equipment for use in high speed, demanding manufacturing production lines. Our vision inspection systems automatically check the product to ensure perfect presentation and that all required markings are present, and checkweighers complete a 100% weight check of all items. In addition, our metal detectors ensure that any metal contamination is found and eliminated from the production line, and x-ray inspection systems are able to effectively detect dense physical contaminants as well as measure mass and check for missing or damaged product inside closed packages.
