Legato

Overview

LEGATO X-RAY INSPECTION SYSTEM

Introducing SeamTrac Legato: The first inline, 360-degree, non-contact seam inspection system. SeamTrac Legato sets a new standard in canning quality control with real-time defect detection, advanced seamer monitoring, and precise headspace control.

Multiple X-ray inspection beams with overlapping coverage enables the Legato to inspect within multi-layered seams to identify a range of defects.

The SeamTrac Legato Inspection System delivers non-contact inspection at speeds up to 1200 CPM. System mounts on the existing single file seamer discharge conveyor and only requires 7.5’ of linear space. It provides early detection of seam defects, ejecting critical defective containers from the line, minimizing waste and further processing.

SeamTrac is designed to detect reliable deviations and defects in seam integrity. It monitors seamer performance in real-time, helping operators identify potential issues before they impact product quality.

Features

Inline Inspection of Every Can

AI directed predictive maintenance by Seamer Head at full speed.

Inspects every can with numerous data points in real-time. Critical seam deviations are monitored, associated and scored by each respective seamer head.

Automated rejection of faulty cans helps protect your line from downtime and reduces risks to consumers.

Advanced Seamer Tracking

Each seamer head’s performance is monitored in real-time with the detailed Peco Seam Score.

Metrics provide for actionable insights, allowing operators to make targeted adjustments.

Paired with ‘On-Demand QA sampling’ by seamer head ensures prescribed quality checks without production interruptions.

Headspace Monitoring

Provides precise fill-level monitoring, identifying variations like under and over fills that can lead to problems downstream.

This extra layer of control helps maintain consistent product quality and reduces waste.

Return on Investment

Customers have realized payback within the first year, driven by reduced downtime, increased OEE, fewer HFIs, and enhanced seamer performance.

Real-time defect detection and automated rejection streamline operations, minimizing product loss and boosting efficiency.

Typical Applications
