Affordable High Resolution Double Seam Inspection
SEAMscan SPC's extremely flexible and modular design allows you to tailor your double seam inspection package to suit the needs, and the budget, of your organization. Buy only what you need. The SEAMscan SPC System may be purchased as a complete seam scanner package, or as individual software modules and hardware options. Software changes, updates and upgrades are simple with the help of our Technical Support Department.
The SEAMscan SPC System is made up of three products essential for proper double seam maintenance and is often bundled with a technical support plan:
VSI-5000 Series Video SEAM Imager
This high-resolution digital seam scope for food cans, beverage cans, and aerosol cans, clearly illuminates and captures can seam images. The Video SEAM Imager is a fixed focus vision system designed to clearly illuminate and capture images of double seams, cover hook wrinkles, can ends, composite cans, side weld seams and much more.
More rugged and more reliable than conventional halogen lamps, the Video SEAM Imager uses a solid-state monochromatic LED light source designed for up to 5 years of 24 hour operation. Chromatic distortion is eliminated, permitting optimum can seam images with quick and easy operator adjustments of can position, contrast and brightness.
