Key Features
The Z701 integrates directly into an existing end of line sorter with minimal adjustments required. The system can be integrated into an existing or new sorter – Torus work closely with the customer’s chosen integrator to ensure a successful installation. A site survey is carried out by both parties to agree the suggested location for the integration.
The camera will be located on your existing sorting line
The Vision System can be positioned up to 10m away from the camera
The 2nd monitor can be positioned up to 10m away from the Vision System, enabling the user to measure results from elsewhere in the facility
The Z346 is capable of inspecting 202-300 body diameter, straight walled and finished cans with minimal change parts. Providing direct correlation to Torus’ Z345 Automatic Colour Inspection System, the Z346 boasts an easy to use platform for the inspection of multiple decorations, giving you direct data transfer into your chosen SPC package.

Torus’ Z345 is the world’s first Automatic Colour Inspection System powered by X-Rite®. Providing true quantitative colour measurement for aluminium and steel beverage cans in an automatic system.
The Z345 is capable of inspecting 202-300 body diameter, straight walled and finished cans with minimal change parts. Cans may be loaded in any orientation, either on to an automatic in-feed conveyor or directly from the production line. A high-resolution colour scan camera reads and ‘unwraps’ the label and aligns it to a master image. The can is then accurately presented to the Ci64 for inspection at pre-defined, user selected locations with unmatched positional repeatability.

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.
