CMC-KUHNKE QbyV Seam Thickness Gauge

Precision Beverage Can Seam Measurement

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 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.

Seam measurement at a micron level of precision

With a resolution of just 10 microns, our gauge delivers highly detailed readings, enabling you to assess seam thickness with extraordinary accuracy. The results can be automatically uploaded into SPC and data collecting software such as SEAMetal or Symphony data collection software for easy tracking and analysis, ensuring you maintain tight quality control.

Why beverage can seam gauge measurements are crucial for canning

Double seam defects can significantly impact both your product quality and finances. 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. 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.
