46 mm to 93 mm (113 to 307) diameter shells and ends handled with fully automatic adjustment.
Non-contact sensors above and below an end measure each stage of the conversion process in very fine detail, including material thickness.
All current shell and end types are supported.Black, colored, and decorated shells or end finishes do not affect results.
4 typical progressions from a press lane are measured in only 5 minutes.
A shell is optically scanned on both sides for any given position in just one second. 4 points are measured in 28 seconds per shell, 8 points in 32 seconds per shell.
Each shell is automatically orientated to the direction of the grain regardless of the coating type or decoration.
The common hardware platform (ES8000) on which these groundbreaking shell and progression gauges are built, not only allows for easy software upgrade and switching from one gauging function to the other, it also allows the same unit to be used for measuring both beverage and food shells and ends.
This unique system saves purchasing separate gauges, minimizes gauging footprint, and reduces servicing costs.
Breaks through limitations of other automatic shell gauges
Sets new standards for speed and repeatability of progression gauging
When you invest in either the shell gauge or progression gauge of Sencon’s unique and ground-breaking ES8000 system, you can effectively add a second, high performing gauge in the same cabinet for less cost than buying two standalone gauges. The system can be configured at any time for either or both functionalities with software switching. This dramatically reduces gauging footprint in plants where lab space is at a premium.
