Torus Z304 Semi-Automatic Benchtop Bead, Height and Flange Gauge

Brought to you by Torus, our measurement, automation, metrology, and manufacturing equipment brand, the Z304 is our highly accurate, semi-automatic combination gauge that provides reliable bead, height and flange measurements for food cans.

This gauge is ideal for removing operator bias and providing objective measurements of three essential parameters.

Extremely reliable multi-testing combination Benchtop Bead, Flange & Height Gauge

Can bead, can height and flange width measurements all in one unique instrument. The Z304 Semi-Automatic Benchtop Bead, Height and Flange Gauge is an operator-independent measurement system, and offers critical parameters measured in one easy solution.

Accurately measures:

• Bead Depth
• Finished Can Height (Beaded)
• Finished Can Height (Unbeaded)
• Flange Width

You can take up to 16 measurements around the can as this innovative combination gauge rotates it effortlessly for you.

Invest in a versatile combination gauge that brings multiple essential measurement systems into one – allowing users to save time and money, as well as freeing up work space or laboratory space.

Durable and reliable food can measurements

Designed with reliability in mind, the Torus Z304 Semi-Automatic Benchtop Bead, Height and Flange Gauge is a rugged and solid piece of equipment. Its solid, fixture-based design and semi-automatic operation allows users to have complete confidence in the measurements taken. By removing any problems caused by operator influence or bias – the Z304 provides objective measurements that ensure top level quality assurance.

Complete can inspection solutions

Across the Industrial Physics portfolio we have plenty of measuring devices that measure different aspects of cans and finished cans. For instance, why not take a look at our Torus Z339 Manual Back End Finished Can Gauge, or the Torus Z540 Flange Width Gauge for only flange width measurements.

We have a huge portfolio of instruments and solutions to offer, and our Metal Packaging equipment page is the best place to start exploring.

Range of knowledge on can inspection

We’re always pleased to share the knowledge we’ve gained over several decades of testing and measuring cans, can ends and shells.

First up, we publish lots of blogs and articles through the knowledgebase section of our website. For example, we have this piece that covers how to measure a double seams, or our article on the importance of testing and measuring aluminum cans.

In addition, you may want to learn more about how Caniel, a leading food and aerosol can maker, called on us to increase the efficiency of their canning line and reduce downtime, then read this case study.
