SEAMetal HD Beverage - double seam evaluation in high definition

SEAMetal HD for beverage cans is the most repeatable and accurate double seam measurement system in the industry. According to third party customer testing, this double seam scope was rated as "world class GR&R". Utilizing a new and highly accurate optical sensing technology, coupled with easy to learn software - the SEAMetal system offers the most flexible software for double seam testing that companies can obtain in today's marketplace.

The double seam inspection software is both quick and powerful, able to automatically capture and analyze the double seam with unprecedented resolution and accuracy. The system offers the latest developments, from research and analysis tools (like our SEAMexplorer software) to the free Statistical Process Control software integrated into the software.

In the last few years, the beverage industry has optimized its closure business. Companies have downgauged (reduction of end diameter), material thickness were reduced while production speeds have been increased. This has increased the level and rates of seaming problems significantly.

This is why a high accuracy, high repeatability fast and accurate double seam scanning systems are now needed more than ever. This version of the SEAMetal seam scope is easy to learn and the most user-friendly in the industry!

SEAMetal HD Beverage is the third generation of beverage double seam measurement systems by Quality By Vision. The company has never stopped improving and developing this system since 1993, when it produced the world's first computerized fully automatic double seam inspection system: SEAMetal 9000X.

This latest system introduces an integrated High Definition camera, providing an unprecedented look at the double seam. You can now see the image better and get a much more accurate measurement! Over the years, we have continuously improved our automatic seam detection technology, so the automatic measurement produced by the system is spot-on.

The seam scope software runs under Windows 2000/XP (Vista support upon request).
