hot melt inspection
Now you can have 100% inspection of hot melt adhesive to your product . . . not only its presence, but its position as well. Employing new state-of-the-art infrared techniques (patent pending), the SnakeEye provides photocell simplicity of operation, with extraordinary thermal sensitivity to "see" each and every bead as it is applied in real time.


leading/trailing switching

The SnakeEye Thermal Switch is installed immediately downstream of the hot melt applicator, and provides 2 on/off photocell type of switches as it sees the thermal presence of the leading and trailing edges of adhesive. Sensitivity level is adjustable.
