SEAMetal SD - standard definition in seam measurement for food cans

Using the very same software as the acclaimed SEAMetal HD for double seam measurements, the SEAMetal SD double seam scope is the best tool for companies not needing the high resolution capabilities of the High Definition version.

Double seam measurements are critical to ensure that a can is truly airtight and sealed, meaning it will not leak nor be exposed to harmful pollutants and contaminants. For this purpose destructive sampling of cans using an optical double seam visual inspection are necessary.

Companies are under pressure to downgauge (reduce lid diameter), reduce material thickness and increase production speed. This means that there are now more double seaming problems than ever before!

SEAMetal SD is a low cost, high quality, repeatable and flexible can measurement solution to your double seam requirements. This version of SEAMetal is easy to learn and the most user-friendly and holds the highest GR&R ratings (trials held by independant third parties!) in the industry! Our customers tell us our software holds "world class" repeatability ratings!

SEAMetal SD is the third generation of double seam scopes 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 version offers features like Excel(TM) integration, zoom in, resizeable windows, new SPC system, new report system. You can now see the image better and get a much more accurate measurement!

Why use X-ray or x-seam systems when you can have a hightly repeatable low cost double seam measurement system!
