CMC-KUHNKE Z548 Manual Beverage Seam Thickness Gauge

Brought to you by CMC-KUHNKE, a leader in advanced seam inspection solutions, this reliable seam thickness gauge features an adaptive chuck wall angle for highly accurate and consistent measurements that’s perfect for measuring seam thickness on beverage cans.

Innovative adaptive chuck wall angle for accurate measurements

Our Z548 Manual Beverage seam thickness gauge features an innovative design with an adaptive chuck wall angle that ensures precision, even with the delicate and flexible nature of beverage can seams. Unlike traditional methods, our gauge provides reliable, consistent measurements, ensuring you avoid the discrepancies often seen with manual tools.

Reliable seam micrometer for beverage

Our seam thickness gauge is designed to measure seam thickness of beverage cans with high precision. Seam defects are a serious risk, as they can lead to product recalls and reputational damage. Efficient seam measurement is essential to avoid these risks.

The role of beverage can seam gauges in quality control

To ensure double seams are neither too tight nor too loose, precise thickness measurement is crucial. Some manufacturers still rely on manual seam micrometers, but these tools can be inaccurate when used with beverage cans with different end types like B64, CDl, SuperEnd, etc.. Our adaptive seam thickness gauge overcomes this challenge, providing accurate results that can help detect and resolve seam issues before they impact production. We have the gauges, testers, and software to reduce the cost of production and increase the efficiency of your canning and bottling processes.

A time-saving seam measuring gauge

The Z548 Manual Beverage Seam Thickness Gauge comes with the option to transfer measurement data automatically. Our seam thickness gauge will save you time in your process, ultimately saving you money.

The device comes with an interface for easy connection to  a SPC application, such as the CMC-KUHNKE Visionary or Torus’ GaugeXplorer software. This versatility makes it ideal for quick checks during the setup of the seamer but also during production or as part of a broader quality control strategy.
