The history of the American company Sencon began in 1976 when a group of engineers founded a company focused on designing and manufacturing of sensors and devices for manufacturing processes control for manufacturers of metal packaging. For the last 40 years on the market, the product range has been continuously expanded and the company has been providing solutions in the field of research, inspection and surveying systems for all aspects of the production of cans and related products. Sencon has production facilities in Bedford Park (USA), Droitwich (United Kingdom), service and sales office in Hong Kong (China) and distributors worldwide. The Sencon devices check about a billion cans a day.
Product portfolio includes several groups of devices tailored to specific processes that occur during the production of metal packaging, among which we distinguish Sencon line control sensors such as:
– Canline Sensors 11P/H-/345/347/340-03
– Can Count Sensors 11P/H-370/371/372-06
– Can Filling Line Sensors, 11PH-330,340,341-XX series
– LMS sensors for speed control on canmaking lines (Linear Mass Sensors, LMS2400-XX-UC) and AMS sensors (Area Mass Sensors, AMS300/600/1200/2400) for regulating a variable speed drive on the cupping press and adjusting the rate of press strokes based on cup demand
– Alphanumeric displays Series 90G (90-9002-G) to display information regarding the status of the machine
Regarding machine control Sencon offers products such as:
– 287 Series sensors (Short Can Sensors, including 9-247/267-287-03, 11-247/267/287-03) and BCM500 control module for bodymakers
– Metal discrimination sensors detecting can-on-mandrel (Can on Mandrel Sensors, 11-2XX-03-P5 series)
– Compact sensors detecting that all cups have dropped and cleared the die area (Die Protection Sensors, 9-27X-03 Series) and sensors for applications in harsh environments (High-Performance Sensors, 9/11-X5X-03 series)
Sencon offer includes also solutions improving systems for paint coating, such as a series LST (Spray Timing Systems Spray Timing System Upgrades), high speed solenoid drivers (Series 213) and an optical spray/paint control system (Internal Spray Inspection, Spray Detector SC7050) checking the quality of coating and rejecting any spray system problems. Next, you will find data recorders for optimizing the operation of curing ovens (Oven Logger, SL2101, SL2200) and for sheet/wicket ovens on 3-piece canmaking lines (SL2300, SL2400) as well as:
– Leak testers in the form of a universal light tester ULTP,
– Light tester ELTP (End Light Tester Package) and microleakage tester MLT.
Saturation monitor (CTM Color Track Monitor) and label verifier (LVC180 Label Verifier) are another devices for production process control as well as a wide range of coating raters/verifiers:
– Automatic Master Series System,
– Semi-automatic (SI9100 Enamel Rater) with interchangeable parts in the form of stands (SI9108 and SI9008) and adapters (SI9019T, SI9020TM).
– MEER rater (SI9208) dedicated for testing many sizes of can lids
Other testing devices are:
– Automatic optical system for measuring wall thickness (internal and external) Master Series
– Stationary optical semi-automatic thickness meter (internal and external) SI6700 Benchmark Series
– Semi-automatic side wall thickness meter, coating thickness and weight SI9600 with probes (HoverProbe SI9650, Formed Tube/Aerosol Probe SI9560, Formed Can Probe SI9507+)
– SC8800 gauge for non-contact rating of wet enamel layer
– Tester SI6100 for can strength and structural integrity and for SI6300 axial load gauge
