CanNeed-Seam-X-On-line X-Ray

Automatic Seam Scanner

(Non-destructive)

“Efficient, Cost saving, High Sampling frequency”

 

l  Non-destructive measurement, avoid wasting samples l  Non-destructive measurement, avoid environmental pollution and save handling charges l  High sampling frequency, reduce the isolation inferior l  High sampling frequency, cost saving l  Can track the chucks corresponding to the unqualified products l  360-degree fully scan measurement l  Can be suitable for various types of cans l  Higher accuracy l  Avoid manual measurement error l  Durable l  Accord with the worldwide safety standards

 

Purpose: The “CanNeed-Seam-X-On-Line X-Ray Automatic Seam Scanner” adopts non-destructive measurement method to measure the seam quality, suitable for measuring the aluminum cans, steel cans , aluminum-iron composite cans and etc. It’s applicable for online in producing department. It’s a non-destructive, cost saving, accurate measurement and automatic equipment which can be installed on the production line to improve the sampling frequency.

 

Equipment Outline:

     ● Outline dimension:

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

    ● Production line distribution (Case one):

Technical data:

l Applicable for online in producing department; batch sampling test based on the preset time.

l Sampling interval: set the shortest time as sampling 12 cans/ batch in 1 minute

l Automatically input samples and measure samples, no need for human operation

l Accuracy:0.01mm

l 360-degree fully scan measurement, no blind spot detection

l Machine inspection beat: 5~8 second/PCS

l Load: production time calculation for 22 hours one day; Measuring capacity: 22(h) X 3600 (s) ÷ 5~8 (s) ≈10 K   PCS/day. It’s a stable and reliable equipment to the continuous detection.

l Adopts closed loop control. The seam structure data of each can is separately corresponding to the chucks of seamer. Able to track the chucks corresponding to the unqualified products, saving a lot of time to find out the problems and adjust the seamer.

l Automatically get rid of the inferiors.

Measuring Process:

Take samples from the online signal automatic production line

                                  

Transport samples to the detection entrance      Automatic sampling to the rotating disk positioning   

                                                                                                      

Adopt non-destructive X-ray to go through the required inspection stations 

                                         

360-degree fully scan measurement and take figures       Images can be auto analyzed by software

                                                                                                    Qualified products

                                                                              Analyze data to the server 

                                                                                                

                                                           Analyze the status of seamer according to the data report       Inferiors
