Seam analysis is presently utilizing technology to improve the quality control process. First, video-based solutions replaced the old projection systems and manual gauges. These video systems used cursors which had to be moved manually in order to measure distances. These systems were inefficient due to the time it took to measure each seam.
excerpts from The Canmaker magazine - March 2004 issue
Responsibility for canmakers products increasingly extends far beyond their factory gates. High-quality canned products depend on the performance of both the materials and the way in which the cans and ends perform in filling and seaming machines.
"It?s been tough for the canning and seaming industries, with thinner material gauges, end diameter reduction, increasing costs and higher productionrates."
