Many common seamer problems are not handled correctly due to the inability of operators to locate the exact cause. This can be very time-consuming as manufacturing is stopped while the technician attempts to correct the problem on the seamer.

Common issues and problems with seamers.
What potential problems exists, how do you find these issues and how do you fix them?
Originally published in the Cantech international magazine - July 2000 issue
Seam analysis is presently utilizing technology to improve the quality control process. First, video-based solutions replaced the old projection systems and manual gauges. These video systems used cursors which had to be moved manually in order to measure distances. These systems were inefficient due to the time it took to measure each seam.
"It's been tough for the canning and seaming industries, with thinner material gauges, end diameter reduction, increasing costs and higher productionrates."
