Dimensional Testing of Cans for the Food Industry

Dimensional Testing of Cans for the Food Industry Accurate dimensions and shape of the prefabricated cans and can-lids is of prime importance, in order to ensure that the lids and the cans match properly and form a permanent airtight. seal after the filling and sterilization process. This in order to avoid costly batch sealing failures in the canning industry. A special non-contact automated measurement testing machine was developed to control the dimensional integrity of the cans and the matching lids. The machine determines with the aid of a laser-optical sensor. The exact location and dimensions of the corrugations, the unfolded seam stitching height and the nominal core-height of the lid. The MICRO-EPSILON optoNCDT used in this machine is not influenced by variations in basic container material colour, or by preprinted advertising illustrations and text in a wide variety of colours on the cans or the can-lids. Accurate measurement test results are therefore guarenteed. Reasons for cho- High repeatability of and consistency of measurement values especially by various reflecting materials, aluminium, surface treated sheet-metal etc., as well as insensitive to rapid colour variations of preprinted advertising illustrations and texts. - Extreme small laser-beam measuring point especially well suited for measuring exact dimensions of small corrugations. - Possibility to transfer data directly into a computer for visualization and statistical data storageosing the system Alatuji Kontak Person: Bpk.
