The Z338 Manual Front End Gauge has been designed to measure typical features for Front End Inspection including; Trimmed Can Height, Mid and Top Wall Thickness and Dome Depth.
Whether being used at the front end for body maker setup checks, in the quality area for off-line inspection, or as a backup during routine maintenance for your automatic gauges, exact correlation gives you 100% confidence in your process.

The Z314 Semi-Automatic Wall Thickness Analyser defines the standard for dimensional inspection
The Z314 measures cups and straight walled cans’ wall thickness. Utilising a single point wall thickness transducer based on industry standard Torus Z301 Front End Gauge.
The Z314 Wall Thickness Analyser ensures accurate wall thickness inspection of cups, straight walled cans or 2pc bottle cans with no need for tooling changeover.

The gauge is designed to ensure correlation with the Z302 series inspection system by utilising common measurement principles and instrumentation
Each component is manually loaded by the operator and orientated to the required position for measurement. All features are simultaneously checked at each position, allowing a typical can inspection in under 30 seconds.

Designed specifically for 2 piece can manufacturers who “reform” their cans, this small inspection gauge gives critical measurement information on the setup of each head of your reformer
The scanner utilises proven contact measurement technology to scan the form of the reformed profile and incorporates a entering check to accurately locate Ø 202 – Ø 300 body cans.

The Z313 Series Enamel Rater can be specified for conveyor loaded (automatic) or fully line fed (in-line) operation
The Z313 Enamel Rater measures the lacquer integrity of metal cans, with a typical throughput speed of 3 cans per minute.
The system can be specified with Torus’ optional LSM/ISG Recognition Camera Module, ensuring SPC data output is “tagged” with the relevant traceability for effective remedial actions.

Our modular gauge setups are unique and allow you to customise your gauge as and when you require, giving you the flexibility to ensure you have a total quality solution.
The Z312 Vision Module tests for all industry standard ISG recognition, including UV/BRC presence in one system.
The Z312 Vision Module quickly identifies the application of UV base rim coat presence, indicating in split seconds a percentage coverage based on parameters set within Torus’ GaugeXplorer software. The live report instantly denotes if the rim coat has either been under applied or damaged.
Designed with flexibility in mind the Z312 module can be integrated into any new or existing Torus gauge, or alternatively supplied as a standalone system. The flexible module boasts multi size capability with no change parts allowing the system to be located anywhere on the shop floor.

UV Base Rim Coat Presence (BRC)
• Visible Spray Dot
• UV Spray Dot
• 2 & 5 Digit Dot Matrix Character Code (Visible/UV)
The Z312 works together with and complements Torus’ Z340 Coating Analyser to provide Base Rim Coat Distribution Analysis, aimed to show operators how the BRC is distributed and thus showing up any potential areas to save resource.
The Z308 Dome Reversal Gauge provides detailed information about the overall change in length of the can when pressure is applied and subsequently removed.

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)
