Sencon’s most advanced iteration of the End Light Leak Tester includes Quasar™ II Light Detection™. The system is comprehensively equipped with the latest electronic and mechanical advances, doubling detection sensitivity to a verifiable 1 micron while maintaining false rejects better than 6 Sigma. Learn more about Quasar™ II Light Detection.

QUASAR™ II LIGHT DETECTION

QUASAR™ II features greater detection sensitivity and improvements to detection reliability through reductions in electrical background noise and refinements to overall system control, delivering greater consistency and fewer false positives.

HIGH SENSITIVITY

The latest ELTP detects 1-micron test holes in end panels. Real production leakers due to tears or pinholes in the panel, score, or chuck wall, as well as split rivets, are detected with a higher success rate than competitor systems. Clipped curl and compound blob defects are also detected if they are large enough to affect the light seal around the end. The system even detects some indirect light paths.

BEVERAGE AND FOOD ENDS

ELTP has been successfully installed on many types of beverage end conversion press worldwide and also on a variety of presses for food ends (contact Sencon for details). Dedicated systems have also been made for other sizes and non-round shapes according to customer specifications.

UPGRADE OPTIONS

Quasar™ II detector heads, light sources and controllers are a drop-in physical fit. With 25 years of product iteration some older systems may require more work. Contact Sencon for a detailed review of your current installation.
