A comprehensive suite of semi-automatic benchtop gauges for beverage cans. These popular and widely respected gauges use same well-proven technologies as Senco's full automatic Master Series™ gauging modules in standalone compact units that are ideal for the QA laboratory or for additional checks beside the line. Semi-automatic, hands-free operation eliminates operator influence and ensures consistency and reliability of quality assurance tests throughout the can making process.

On show: Front End Gauge, Back End Gauge (non-contact), Buckle Gauge, Axial Load Gauge.

Other Benchmark™ gauges available: FIlm-Scan™ (optical coatings thickness), Dome Reform Gauge.

Quasar™ Light Detection is Sencon's latest advance in leak detection technology. It is the result of over 25 years experience in successfully detecting defects in cans and ends worldwide.Quasar™ is capable of verifiable sub-micron sensitivity, but even more importantly, it detects real-world leakers consistently and reliably with a false reject rate of less than 3 in a million. Quasar™ is successfully used on our conversion press systems (ELTP), safeguarding billions of beverage and food ends as they produced all over the world. And now it's being installed on our beverage can leak testers (ULTP) which are supplied on most leading neckers. You can see Quasar™ in action at the show (Hall 3, Stand 3D25).

Combined shell and progression gauging in one compact unit. Reduces floor space, cost, and operator training.

• 10 user-configured preset tests

Sencon's oven logger is the ideal tool for achieving greater energy efficiency on can making lines to help meet crucial sustainability goals. Making sure your ovens are optimized to work efficiently is an obvious way to reduce the carbon footprint of metal packaging. It also has significant cost benefits. Regularly monitoring your curing/drying cycles with Sencon’s SL2000 will help you keep your ovens energy efficient without risking product quality. As the global climate crisis deepens and energy prices continue to rise dramatically, this is a win-win for everyone.

• Improves productivity and reduces energy costs
• Allows optimization of process parameters and maintenance routines
• Can be put on line without interrupting production
• Ultra compact — does not interfere with air circulation in oven
• One solution for all 2-piece ovens
• Enough memory to log data from several ovens without having to download data in between

Sencon can line sensors have unique features that deliver an almost indefinite life of precise performance on can making lines, with less downtime and improved productivity. Together with our Linear and Area Mass Sensors, they co-ordinate conveyors and mass belts to run at machine rate. Avoiding excess can pressure and reducing refill times helps to promote optimum productivity. 

Sencon machine control sensors - such as Short Can Sensors in the bodymakers and Can-on-mandrel Sensors in the decorators - are the silent guardians of metal packaging production lines. In order to keep working in the harsh and demanding environment of a can making plant, these sensors are static-safe, resistant to shock, oils and humidity, and operate in a wide temperature range.

Sencon has over 45 years experience of making sensors that help you get on with the job of making quality cans.
