Ampoule Circular Bounce Tester

In the field of pharmaceuticals and biologics, the geometric accuracy of injection packaging containers such as ampoules and penicillin bottles (usually made of glass material), especially the straightness of the central axis of the bottle body (often quantified as "vertical axis deviation" or "circular jumping"), is a fundamental quality indicator related to the automation of drug production, packaging and sealing integrity, and even medication safety. A bottle with excessive axial deviation may cause inaccurate positioning, needle collision, or uneven filling volume on a high-speed filling line; In the process of plugging and capping, it is easy to cause uneven stress on the rubber plug or aluminum cover, leading to poor sealing and increasing the risk of microbial contamination or leakage of drugs during storage. Therefore, according to the national standard for drug packaging containers (YBB), accurate and efficient circular jumping detection of medicinal glass bottles is a quality control link that ensures the smoothness of drug production and the reliability of final packaging from the source.

1、 The core principle and quality control significance of vertical axis deviation (circular runout) testing
Vertical axis deviation refers to the deviation of the line connecting the center of the bottle mouth and the center of the bottle bottom (actual center axis) relative to the theoretical vertical center axis of the bottle.Ampoule Circular Bounce TesterThe detection principle strictly follows the standard method: firmly clamp the bottom of the tested bottle at the center of a high concentricity rotating disk (such as a four jaw self centering chuck), adjust the high-precision dial gauge (or electronic sensor) installed on the high degree of freedom bracket, so that its measuring head contacts a fixed point on the outside of the bottle mouth. When the rotary table drives the bottle to rotate at a constant speed of 360 °, due to possible non roundness or bending of the bottle body, the bottle mouth will undergo radial oscillation relative to the rotation center. The dial gauge records and captures the maximum and minimum values of its indication in real time. Half of the difference between these two readings is the vertical axis deviation value of the bottle. This precise geometric measurement can sensitively reflect the small deformations caused by uneven stress or mold wear during the molding, annealing, and cooling processes of glass bottles, providing the most direct data feedback for the adjustment and optimization of production processes. It is an effective front for preventing batch packaging quality problems.

2、 Core Design: Precision, Stability, and High Adaptability
To achieve rapid and accurate detection of different specifications of medicinal glass bottles, this instrument has been professionally optimized in terms of mechanical structure and measurement system:

1. High precision positioning and rotation systemThe core adopts a high concentricity four jaw self centering chuck, ensuring that the bottle bottom within any diameter range can be automatically aligned and firmly clamped, with smooth rotation, laying an accurate benchmark for measurement.

2. High degree of freedom measurement bracketThe supporting measuring bracket can achieve free adjustment in multiple directions, including up and down, front and back, and left and right, and can flexibly fix dial gauges or electronic sensors. This design enables the instrument to easily adapt to samples of different heights (15mm-150mm) and diameters (5mm-80mm), from small ampoules to taller infusion bottles, with strong versatility.

3. High resolution measurement unitThe instrument has a range of 0-12.7mm and a division value of 0.001mm (1 micron), ensuring high resolution and accuracy of the detection results, sufficient to identify small deviations that may affect filling and sealing.

4. Intuitive and simple operationUsers only need to complete three simple steps: clamping, table reading, and rotation reading (maximum and minimum values) to calculate the results. The instrument has a simple structure and does not require complex programming, reducing the skill threshold and training costs for operators.

3、 Strict compliance with standards and wide industry applications
The design and functionality of this instrument meet the following national and industry core standards, and its testing data has legal recognition:

• YBB 00192003 "Method for Determining Vertical Axis Deviation"

• YBB 00332002 "Low Borosilicate Glass Ampoule"(including axis deviation requirements)

• GB 2639 "Manufacturing and Inspection of Glass Bottles and Jars"Waiting for relevant national standards

Therefore,This instrumentNot only is it a mandatory inspection equipment for ampoule production enterprises, but it is also widely used in:

• Injection pharmaceutical companiesUsed for strict geometric quality inspection of incoming packaging materials such as ampoules, penicillin bottles, and infusion bottles.

• Manufacturer of medicinal glass packaging containersAs an online or offline detection instrument for key process control points (after forming and annealing), it is used to monitor the stability of product quality.

• Food and drug quality inspection institutionsIn the registration inspection and supervision sampling of drug packaging materials, the vertical axis deviation of bottles is measured.

• Cosmetics, food and beverage industry: It is extended to detect perfume bottles, oral liquid bottles, beverage bottles and other containers that have requirements on the consistency of packaging appearance and the adaptability of filling lines.
