description

The Z401 automatic can lid size detection system from Torus is provided by the professional testing brand Torus under Industrial Physics, which defines the size detection standards for basic lids of beverage/beer cans.

process

The detector will automatically collect the basic caps that need to be tested from the "can cap pile" and then load them into the detection module of the built-in pick and place system. Subsequently, the measurement cycle was initiated by running TMS GaugeXplorer measurement and machine control software on a PC.

Additional options

The Torus modular design structure provides flexibility when fulfilling your requirements.

Automatic texture alignment

The operator can use the "texture alignment" option to obtain information about precise measurement points, thereby enabling precise adjustments to the mold at the specified position.

Torus provides beverage can measurement from start to finish

Torus' mature contact measurement technology ensures accurate, reliable, and traceable measurements 24/7.

Features and advantages

Faster and more accurate measurement

Wireless replacement of parts

Can be used for a single fixed diameter basic cover, or can be used in conjunction with equipment for producing metal cans with diameters ranging from 200 to 206. There are fully automatic adjustment models available

The operator can specify which features to check at which locations (up to 16)

Mechanical conversion is not required when measuring pre roll sealed cans and finished cans

Configure hopper type handling system - with one or two loading and unloading hopper boxes (basic lid stacking height can reach 98mm)
