Quality By Vision SEAM360: Seam Inspection for Oil Filters

The SEAM360 is a safe, quick, accurate, automatic and non-destructive double seam inspection system for oil filter seams of any size.

Conventional double seam testing methods that involve cutting the seam are potentially unsafe, expensive and only test a handful of points around the seam. Furthermore, due the high cost of the product, the test can’t be done often and so double seam defects can go unnoticed for hours.

The SEAM360 test takes just seconds and measures seam thickness and seam height / length at every point around the seam, so bumps, cracked chucks, droops, split seams and other issues are easily picked up and displayed. Because all readings are taken automatically and the filter is rotated by the built-in motor, there’s no operator influence on the results. The SEAM360 is supplied in a lab / off line configuration, where operators manually load filters in to the unit or in an inline / robotic configuration with in and out conveyors.

Using a SEAM360 for your oil filter seam tests improves quality, accuracy, tracebility and saves valuable resources.
