The CMC-KUHNKE Z310 Combination Seam Gauge is a high-precision, time-saving device for measuring seam thickness and countersink depth in food and beverage cans. This powerful universal gauge delivers automated, multi-measuring capabilities, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in can inspection processes.
Multi-Measurement Seam Gauge
The Z310 streamlines the process of measuring key parameters in food and beverage can seams:
- Seam Thickness: Measures the total width of the entire double seam once formed, including full 360° seam thickness profiling.
- Countersink Depth: Measures the countersink depth from the top edge of the seam.
| Measurement Feature | Accuracy | R&R |
| Seam Thickness | +/- 0.010 mm | 0.020 mm |
| Countersink Depth | +/- 0.020 mm | 0.040 mm |
Rotational Seam Gauge Precision
The Z310 Combination Seam Gauge rotates cans effortlessly to ensure precise measurement angles. It can inspect up to 50 points around a can.
Time-Saving Testing Features
Designed to optimize workflow efficiency, the Z310 offers automated can rotation, simultaneous multi-point measurements, and automatic data transfer, reducing manual effort and increasing reliability.
How does the Combination Seam Gauge work?
- For seam thickness measurements, the Z310 Combination Seam Gauge is very easy to use. Simply take your seamed can, and the thickness of seams are measured using contact probes at defined positions around the can. It can also provide a 360-degree seam thickness scan around the can.
- For countersink depth, it is a similar process through using a contact probe to measure the countersink from the top edge of the can’s seam when sat on the gauge location plate. The countersink probe can measure the lowest part of the countersink and can also measure the depth at a fixed radial position.
