APPARATUS FOR MEASURING SIZE OF SEAMED PORTION OF CANS

摘要

An apparatus for simultaneously measuring at least the width and thickness of a seamed portion of a can under measurement for the same part of the seamed portion. The apparatus comprises a measurement base for carrying the seamed portion set thereon, a reference block secured to the measurement base and including a reference contact portion to be in contact with the outer surface of the seamed portion, a structure for measuring the width of the seamed portion, which is mounted on the reference block and includes a measurement pin cooperating with the reference contact portion to clamp the seamed portion in the vertical direction, and a structure for measuring the thickness of the seamed portion, which is mounted on the reference block and includes a measurement block cooperating with the reference contact portion to clamp the seamed portion laterally. The apparatus may further comprise a structure for measuring the can height and/or a structure for measuring the countersink depth.
