Earing Measurement Solutions

Product Overview

Earing measurement solutions, designed and built for the aluminium and beverage Canning industries, providing reliable and repeatable earing profile results for aluminium and aluminium alloys compliant to EN 1669 and ISO 11531

Huxley Bertram offers two models of machine for Earing Measurement: a Contactless Earing Measurement unit, and an Automatic Cupping and Earing Measurement unit. Both have been developed in conjunction with leading Aluminium manufacturers worldwide.

Contactless Earing Measurement Machine

Automatic Cupping and Earing Measurement Machine

Contactless Earing Measurement

A highly flexible, high speed and high accuracy, benchtop, Earing Measurement machine, adjustable to measure cups from 30 mm to 100 mm internal diameter and up to 150 mm tall, with a measurement accuracy of 10 microns.

These machines are used by sheet metal manufactures and beverage can makers around the world. This is our second-generation machine with many of the first generation still being used around the world.

The machine has recently been remodelled to bring it right up to date with a state of the art controller and is provided with Huxley Bertram’s Advanced Earing Analysis Package with algorithms developed over years of earing experience to facilitate rapid and accurate earing analysis.

An expanded version of the machine for bigger cups is also available.

Automatic Cupping and Earing Measurement

For customers needing to measure earing on large numbers of cups, Huxley Bertram developed the automatic machine that cuts, draws and measures a standard 33 mm cup at rates of up to 100 cups per hour.

Aluminium from 0.2 mm to 4.0 mm can be drawn and earing measured to an accuracy of 10 microns.

This machine is also provided with Huxley Bertram’s Advanced Earing Analysis Package with algorithms developed over our years of earing experience to facilitate rapid and accurate earing analysis.

Optional sensors are available to record, clamp, draw and cutting force for research and development purposes.
