Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 147-201 can seam micrometer is designed for measuring the width, height and depth of can seams across a 0–0.5" (0–12.7 mm) range. Its analog, inch-graduated design provides 0.001" graduation for checking seam dimensions during production, quality control and packaging inspection.
This model is intended for spray-can and aerosol seam inspection. It uses a Ø5 mm measuring spindle with a 0.5 mm spindle pitch, while the thimble and sleeve feature a satin chrome finish with a Ø13 mm scale for clear analog reading.
With a main-unit mass of approximately 65 g, the 147-201 is lightweight for repeated line-side measurements. The instrument is supplied with a box and key for storage and protection between inspections.
Mitutoyo can seam micrometers are available for different can types, including steel, aluminium and spray cans. The 147-201 is the inch-graduated spray-can version.
