Z334 Manual Bench Top Cup Height Earring Gauge
The Z334 is a bench-top system for cup height analysis.
Each cup to be inspected is manually loaded into the gauge and the measurement cycle is initiated via the PC running the TMS GaugeXplorer Measurement and Machine Control Software. Setup screens allow the operator to enter traceability information and select the number of samples and heads from which data is to be collected. Once the component has been measured, the operator may visually accept or reject the software’s calculated ‘Peaks’ and ‘Troughs’, which will be used in the Earring calculations.

Z307 Automatic Destructive Gauge
Torus’ Z307 series defines the standard for destructive testing and inspection. The Z307 Automatic Axial Load module determines the maximum axial load force that can be applied prior to container failure, within a short cycle time. The Z308 Dome Growth/Dome Reversal module provides detailed information about the overall change in length of the can when pressure is applied and subsequently removed. The system has programmable internal pressure capability to meet each customer’s exact needs for dome growth. After dome growth, the can sample can be reversed to find the maximum pressure the sample is able to withstand before failure (dome reversal).
Gauge Features: Available for both straight walled and finished beverage cans Industry standard location plattens for component neck support Selectable crush speed Factory set platterns to ensure parallelism between gauge tooling faces
