High-Resolution Automatic Can Seam Measurement

CMC-KUHNKE's double seam inspection product line is designed to be extremely flexible - allowing you to tailor your measurement package to suit the needs, and the budget, of your organization. Buy only what you need. The SEAMview System may be used as a stand-alone can seam scope, or may be combined with other gauges and software to form a complete double seam inspection system.

The SEAMview System is made up of two essential components:

VSI-5000 Series USB Video SEAM Imager

Each of our digital can seam scopes is specifically designed to clearly illuminate and capture images of double seams on a variety of can types.

A high-resolution USB camera and precision optics form a fixed-focus microscope with either a right-angle mirror (for measuring food cans, aerosol cans, composite cans, plastic bowls, or oil filters), or our patented "flow-through" beverage can inspection table.*

The Video SEAM Imager for aerosol cans also includes a special can table which allows the double seam to be measured with the aerosol can dome still intact.

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 double seam images with quick and easy operator adjustments of can position, contrast and brightness.

Capture, measure and save double seam images in less than one second! Can seams are automatically measured in high-resolution; out-of-spec readings are highlighted directly on the seam image; and SPC graphs are displayed in real-time along with the double seam.

auto SEAMview inspection software can automatically re-size live or captured can seam images to fit any screen; without affecting calibration or double seam measurement accuracy. Click to zoom into any part of the can seam for an additional 2x, 3x, or 4x magnification (nearly 250x actual size on a 17” monitor). Make notes right on the double seam image and save it as a .BMP, .PNG, .GIF or .JPG file, send it in an e-mail message, or even use it in a document or a spreadsheet.
