Understanding SEAMetal 6 and Double Seam Software

The software that drives a double seam inspection system is central to its value in a production environment. Accurate seam images and measurements are only useful if the software makes them easy to interpret and act on – especially for operators who are not metrology specialists. 

SEAMetal 6 was developed with this in mind. Its key addition over previous versions is SEAM Doctor: a diagnostic tool that analyses the pattern of out-of-specification measurements and correlates them with known seaming defect profiles to suggest the most likely cause and the corrective action required. Rather than presenting an operator with a table of numbers, SEAMetal 6 guides them towards a specific adjustment to a specific seaming roll. 

The integrated SPC module extends this capability across time, allowing QA managers to monitor seam quality trends, drill down to individual data points, and verify that corrective actions have had the intended effect. The six-sigma SPC software provides an overview of what’s happening on the line, then allows users to drill down to individual reports and seam images without needing statistical expertise. 

Typical applications include: 

• Double seam quality control on food, beverage, and aerosol canning lines 
• Seam defect root cause analysis and guided corrective action 
• Statistical process control and trend monitoring 
• Compliance reporting and quality system documentation
