Abstract
An inspection line comprises: at a finish inspection station, a finish inspection installation capable of detecting without contact, by light rays, check-type defects in the neck of the containers; at a base inspection station, a base inspection installation capable of detecting without contact, by light rays, check-type defects in the base of the containers; and at a radiographic measuring station, a radiographic installation for automatically measuring linear dimensions of at least one region to be inspected of containers. The three installations are each arranged at stations distinct from each other along a trajectory of displacement of the containers. In each installation, a section of the transport device ensures, in the inspection area of the installation, the transport of the containers along a rectilinear portion of the trajectory (T) in a horizontal conveying plane (Pc) perpendicular to the central axis of the containers.
