Front End gauge

In today’s competitive environment, controlling the critical parameters of beverage cans is essential. Correct wall thickness as well as trimmed can height can guaranty a problem free finished can. The Front End gauge is an ideal tool for small and medium sized DWI can-makers who need to check the cans at the front end in order to ensure production quality.

The Front End Gauge is a semi-automatic system that utilizes state-of-the-art technology to quickly and simultaneously detect the values of Trimmed Can Height, Dome Depth, Mid Wall Thickness and Upper Wall Thickness at as many different sections as is required.The user places the can inside the unit and closes the hatch. The system then automatically detects all four points simultaneously before automatically continuing on to the next section. Each section takes approximately a second and a half to measure!

The system is designed to be highly cost effective, and is priced competitively for low volume production environments and smaller to mid-sized can makers for two piece can makers - "drawn and wall ironed" (DWI) aluminum or steel.
