Torus Z338 Manual Front End Trimmed Can Gauge

Reliable and Accurate Front End Can Inspection 

Brought to you by Torus, our specialist testing brand, the Z338 Manual Front End Trimmed Can Gauge is designed for fast and accurate measurement of trimmed cans. This easy-to-use system ensures that manufacturers can maintain high-quality standards while reducing inspection time.  

Precision in Every Measurement 

The Z338 manually positions trimmed cans into the measurement system, where a high-accuracy contact gauge determines key dimensional parameters. The process eliminates operator subjectivity, improving reliability and repeatability. Designed to measure typical features for unnecked cans, it accurately assesses Trimmed Can Height, Mid and Top Wall Thickness, and Dome Depth. 

100% confidence in your process

Whether being used at the front end for body maker setup checks, in the quality area for off-line inspection, or as a backup during routine maintenance for your automatic gauges, exact correlation gives you 100% confidence in your process. Also available as floor standing semi-automatic options and fully automatic in-line options.
