TBS-A1C: Automatic Twin Blade Saw, Beverage Cans
Automatic twin blade seam saw for beverage cans

Many beverage canneries and breweries have several operators in the plant cutting and measuring seams. This creates repeatability issues, due to different experience levels. Quality By Vision already offers the most accurate and repeatable double seam inspection system. We now also offer the most repeatable and automated seam cutting solution – the TBS-A1C – which always cuts the same cut regardless of the operator performing the cut. The TBS-A1C is the automatic version of Quality By Vision’s industry-leading TBS-4BC saw.
All the operator has to do is put the can in the sleeve and press a button. The automatic saw will handle the cutting, resulting in the highest GR&R in the industry. Cuts are highly accurate and done at exactly 90 degrees at the edge of the seam, resulting in no deformation or seam stretching. Advantages of the TBS-A1C Saw:
- Cuts double seams without any deformation.
- Ideal for thin and fragile aluminum beverage cans.
- High speed motor and carbide blades.
- Replaceable sleeve allows for a quick and easy operation while keeping the aluminum cans intact.
- Identical cut for different operators, even with no experience.
- Extremely safe operation.
- High speed motor prevents seam-gap smearing.
- Produces the best GR&R, since there is no operator influence during cut.
- Built-in noise reducer.
