According to the automatic uneven thickness inspection machine for plastic molded containers of the present invention, the inspected container 1 made of plastic is mounted and fixed on the rotary table 3 at the opening 1a, and the inside of the mounted and fixed inspected container 1 is inspected. The container 1 can be rotated by driving the rotary table 3 while suctioning the negative pressure.

Further, when the displacement sensor 4 is provided so as to face the outer wall of the rotating container 1 so as to be spaced apart from each other, and if the outer wall of the container 1 has a thin portion due to uneven thickness, a concave portion due to negative pressure is generated on the outer wall of the container 1. Displacement occurs on the outer wall, the distance between the outer wall of the container 1 and the displacement sensor 4 changes, and the displacement sensor 4 determines whether or not the displacement has occurred.
The presence or absence of uneven thickness of the container 1 to be inspected can be inspected.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION The plastic molded container eccentricity automatic inspection machine of the present invention, regardless of whether the plastic container to be inspected formed by plastic molding is transparent or opaque, and whether it is a perfect circle or an ellipse. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to accurately inspect for the presence or absence of uneven thickness (uneven thickness of the molding wall surface) on the container molding wall surface.
