The EPA - End Profile Analyzer is a Sanitary can end measurement system, which uses laser profiling technology in order to measure the sanitary end.

Incorrect values on the ends can often cause major issues like deadheads, stuck ends, and bad double seams.

The End Profile Analyzer (EPA) replaces "go-no-go" gauges and destructive measurement methods for sanitary ends, which are inaccurate, time consuming and give different results for different operators. With laser profiling technology, the EPA is able to measure all important end specifications using a non-contact optical laser measurement system:

End Material Thickness
Outside diameter
Inside Diameter
Chuck Fit Diameter (an actual measurement, not go-no-go!)
Curl Width (for the first time, non destructive!)
Curl Height
External Curl Radius
Countersink
End flanges
Pin Fit
First bead
New: Chuck wall angle (optional)
New: Countersink bottom radius (optional)
