Metal Packaging Industry

The most important applications for weld seam detection in the metal packaging industry are of the detection of weld seams in coils and the positioning of 55 gallon drums for lithography of the drum body.

Can lid stamping press When feeding welded tinplate coil into a lid press the weld seam detector together with the sensor NS9SC finds the weld seam in the coil infeed before it enters the die. The more costly alternative is a man watching the flagged coil.

Silk screening machine for 55 Gallon Drums After 55 gallon drums are painted it is not possible to detect the weld seam by optical means. However, in lithographic installations it is necessary to orientate the sharp-edged weld away from the screen containing the paint. Otherwise the weld seam may cut the screen resulting in messy cleanup problems. The Weld seam detector SND8 and the sensor NS9S finds the Weld seam for rotating the drum into a safe position.
