|---|---|
| Purpose | To detect seam defects in beverage cans |
Before
In the fastest 1400 CPM production line, sampling tests were conducted because visual total inspection was impossible. However, seam defects occurred at random, so defective products were possibly being shipped, leading to market complaints.
After
Installation of the KURABO Can Seam Defects Inspection System enables a total circumference inspection for can seam defects.
The system not only prevents the shipping of defective products, but achieves an increase in productivity by checking the occurrence conditions (when, where, and how) of can seam defects from a recorded image of defects, enabling feedback to be provided to the production line.
