Industrial-Physics - Model CMC-KUHNKE SEAMscan XTS III -Metal Packaging Testing System

If you work with aluminum or steel cans, the SEAMscan XTS III will increase the accuracy of your double seam inspection testing, reduce spoilage, and save you time and money.

Brought to you through CMC-KUHNKE, our metal packaging testing brand, the SEAMscan XTS III is a fully automated, stand-alone measurement system that provides fast and accurate results.  

This is the third generation of our zero-waste, cost-saving double seam inspection solution. It’s the testing device of choice for new lines and upgraded technology across the top 10 beverage companies in the world. 

Our unique radial measurement technology

The SEAMscan XTS III uses a unique radial measurement system, instead of a tangential approach. It offers you the most accurate, single-point measurement for objective wrinkle detection and tightness monitoring.   

Safe double seam inspection

The SEAMscan XTS III is safe and user-friendly. Your cans are effortlessly and methodically moved through a series of measurement stations and checks.  

The SEAMscan XTS III offers accurate double seam measurement, allowing you to assess: seam thickness, countersink depth, seam height, body hook, cover hook, overlap, seam gap, % body hook butting and wrinkle rating (% tightness). It increases the accuracy of your testing and reduces both labor and spoilage, saving you time and money. 

This latest model features improved handling and increased versatility and precision, enabled by new generation image processing.   

Faster and safer than conventional cross-sectional methods, it protects you from seam saws, metal burrs or seam teardowns. While the single point inspection setup also eliminates focus issues and makes it possible to measure larger diameter ends.  

Seam inspection data collection

It’s so easy to download your seam inspection results to a PC for further analysis – you only need the power cable supplied. 

Our double seam inspection equipment works seamlessly with Visionary QC™ SPC Software and you can track trends and statistics with SPC graphs. Used by thousands of companies around the world, it collects and tracks instantly available data, presenting it in an easy-to-read and understand touch-screen format.  

Protective X-ray shielding

When you use the SEAMscan XTS III double seam inspection tool you’ll be protected by excellent X-Ray-shielding (TÜV Rheinland tested and certified to < 0.1 mSv per year).   

Easy clean seam inspection machine  

The SEAMscan XTS III double seam inspection device was designed and built to be as easy to clean, calibrate and maintain as possible. It has added drainage for easy cleaning and excellent accessibility (270°) for maintenance.
