Developed by CMC-KUHNKE, our metal packaging inspection specialist company, the SEAM360 offers non-destructive, rapid seam inspection that’s more cost effective than the competition.
The importance of seam inspection
Seam inspection is critical for protecting yourself against leaking cans and ensuring the quality of your metal packaging. With a high-quality, double seam inspection instrument you’ll save time, hassle and cost while protecting yourself against unwanted product recalls.
A double seam inspection dream
No seam defects can escape the watchful eye of our visual double seam inspection device. While many common tooling and seamer related issues can be prevented before the can is manufactured by using the clearance gauge, the SEAM360 can quickly detect double seam issues such as
- Tooling and bushing problems
- Dead-heads and chuck skids
- Knocked-down flange
- Droops and vees
- False seams
- Broken chucks
- Seam gap issues
- Overlap problems
- Overhang
- Seam bumps
360° double seam inspection protection
The SEAM360 measures the seam length and thickness (height) on 100% of a can’s total external surface area. Conventional seam inspection technology checks at two or three points, avoiding the areas in between. So, micrometer or seam thickness gauge and destructive tests with a seam scope are limited – you may be missing the most critical information!
Recall protection from double seam inspection
Problems can arise as close as a few millimeters from your measurement point. The SEAM360 seam inspection ensures that these faults are detected, eradicating the problems that follow when you ship bad cans to your customers.
Super fast seam inspection
The SEAM360 features the latest in non-destructive optical technology. It’s able to detect double seam issues in a fraction of the time it takes to do a seam test and with no operator influence on the results!
Superb seam inspection software
The intuitive seam inspection software clearly points out what the problem is and where it occurred.
Additional seam inspection selections
We make a wide range of visual can seam inspection devices and accessories.
