The Torus Z549 Benchtop Manual Wall Thickness Gauge delivers precise measurements of beverage can wall thickness with dedicated tooling per size. Compact, reliable, and easy to operate, it supports manufacturers in maintaining consistent wall thickness and quality control across can production lines.
Brought to you by Torus, our specialist brand in metal packaging testing, the Z549 Benchtop Manual Wall Thickness Gauge is designed for accurate measurement of beverage can wall thickness. The Z549 offers precise manual readings, ensuring material consistency and process control in every production run.
The Z549 Benchtop Manual Wall Thickness Gauge enables measurement of mid-wall and top-wall thickness at single positions. Operators can manually position the trimmed can to take readings at various radial points, providing flexibility and complete control over inspection.
With a resolution of 0.001 mm (1 micron), the Z549 delivers high accuracy and repeatability, ensuring reliable data for monitoring can body wall uniformity. These precision results help manufacturers optimize material usage and maintain the strength and performance of their beverage cans.
Designed as a manual, benchtop tool, the Z549 requires no air or power supply, offering convenient use directly on the production floor. Components are loaded, measured, and unloaded manually by the operator, supporting fast inspection.
The Z549 includes two Mitutoyo DTIs (digital indicators) for consistent, easy-to-read results and can be optionally connected to legacy software systems.
The Z549 is built for durability in industrial environments. Each system is supplied with CE marking and comprehensive documentation, including installation, operation, service, and maintenance manuals (both printed and digital).
When paired with other Torus measurement solutions—such as the Z540 Flange Width Gauge, Z541 Plug Diameter Gauge, Z543 Can Height Gauge, and Z544 Dome Depth Gauge
Together, these instruments provide end-to-end quality control for beverage can manufacturing, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy and production efficiency.
The Torus Z543 Benchtop Manual Universal Height Gauge is suitable for trimmed or finished cans, and plastic or aluminum bottles and it features a reliable dial test indicator (DTI), selectable between 10µm and 1µm so you can enjoy complete confidence in your object height measurements.

The Z549 offers an accuracy of ±0.001 mm and a resolution of 0.001 mm, delivering precise and repeatable wall thickness measurements for beverage cans.
Torus recommends calibrating the gauge once per shift (approximately every 8 hours) to ensure continued measurement reliability.
The Z549 measures wall thickness from 0.00 to 1.00 mm across can body diameters of 200–307 mm and heights from 80–250 mm.
No, the gauge is fully manual and requires no air or power supply, making it ideal for production line use or laboratory inspection.
No, the Z549 is designed for one specific can size only. It must be ordered separately for each can dimension (body diameter and height).
