Test Probes Carriage/Slide Introduction
Probe Carriage (slide)
The probe(s) detect leaks by monitoring air pressure inside the containers during tests. The probe(s) can detect
defective containers by sensing either sudden or gradual changes in pressure.
The test settings (parameters) can be fine-tuned for specific types of containers that have different volumes,
shapes, and wall material. Changes in pressure will determine which containers are accepted or rejected. Test data
on rejects is recorded in total numbers as a percentage of the total tests. The data can be used to adjust the
production process to reduce the number of rejects. When test settings (parameters) for a particular container are
set, they can be stored as a recipe and recalled later.
Important:
Please do not attempt to service the probe carriage or attempt any modifications.

24 –hour ALPS SERVICE HOTLINE for help with service questions.
