Automatic Front End Measure System

Applications

The CanNeed-AFMS-1100 Automatic Front End Measure System is a fully automated, unattended inspection solution designed for the can-making industry. It provides high-precision measurement of wall thickness, bottom depth, and can height, ensuring constant and efficient quality control.

Testing process:

1. Automatic sampling device: Sample cans are automatically transmitted to the waiting area for inspection.

2. Robotic handling: A rotary robot arm places samples into the testing station, where a centering mechanism ensures precise positioning.

3. Multi-point analysis: The rotating mechanism performs 360-degree sampling (1-50 points per rotation) to measure dome depth, height, and wall thickness.

4. Data integration: Tested data is auto-stored via PLC and transferred to SPC systems for real-time analysis.

Advantages

• Contact measuring mode with intuitive touch screen and PLC control.
• Flexible configuration: Standard single conveyor lane with optional three-lane customization.
• Fully automatic operation eliminates manual error and reduces inspector workload.
• High capacity: Processes up to 12 sample cans per cycle.
• NG sample retention: Retains up to 4 sample cans (211) for further analysis.
