Z401 Automatic Shell Inspection Gauge

The Torus Z401 Shell Inspection Gauge defines the standard for dimensional inspection of beverage/beer can shells. Each shell to be inspected is automatically collected from a ‘stack’ and loaded into the gauging module with an integrated pick and place system. The measurement cycle is then initiated via the PC running the TMS GaugeXplorer Measurement and Machine Control software.
