Description

Simple metal packaging testing with our Body Blank Gauge

The CMC-KUHNKE Body Blank Gauge for metal packaging is a reliable and robust test inspection solution that offers body blank height, width and blank squareness measurements of metals with high precision linear compensation.

Ensure accurate slitter setups every time with this high-precision body blank and squareness gauge for can making. Different users will have the same results because they will be measuring with the same light force every time. This ensures repeatability of results and lets you know that you are receiving data you can rely on.

How the Body Blank Gauge ensures accurate results

With the help of a linear slide and heidenhain sensor combination and another heidenhain sensor for the angle measurement, this high-precision digital gauge achieves a constant measuring force, allowing for accurate, repeatable, and user-independent measurements. 

Body blank measurements in can making

Ensuring that you have precise squareness measurements as well as body blank height and body blank width of your components is an essential part of the can-making process. It allows you to check that your slitter setups are accurate.

Even a small unit of imprecision can result in material waste, costing you money and time. Being able to accurately assess your can body blanks offers the opportunity to quality check your process before manufacture. Make your can inspection quality assurance process even easier, with our squareness gauge and body blank test and inspection solution.

The right body blank gauge for the job

The Body Blank Gauge is also available in a range of different models, including the BBG-2-600, BBG-2-950 and BBG-2-1200, ensuring you can find the size and specifications that suit your setup.  Choose the squareness checking gauge that will fit right into your manufacturing line or R&D process.

Reliable can inspection equipment

From our easy-to-use squareness checking gauge to digital depth calipers like our CMC-KUHNKE Bead Depth Gauge, we have everything you need to complete your can inspection lineup.

Customer Success Story

Frequent unplanned stops → Real‑time clearance control → Smoother, faster can‑line ✓

The Problem

With rising pressures on canneries and can makers to increase productivity, minimize both changeover time and unplanned stops – while ensuring higher quality closures – accurate seamer setup is vital.  

The Solution

Our customer needed a reliable instrument to speed up their seamer changeovers. We presented the ‘perfect’ solution in the CMC-KUHNKE QbyV Clearance Gauge. It takes the guesswork out of seamer setup, improves seam integrity, increases uptime and rapidly makes changeovers. 

The Result

A spokesperson for industry-leading metal packaging  manufacturer Caniel said: “The team at Industrial Physics identified the perfect solution for our testing requirements and this has been a huge benefit for us.”
