canmaking
Our sensors and control systems are used by top global producers of canmaking machinery. Prime Controls’ metal sensing systems detect quality issues such as double sheet detection, the detection of double shell and missing tabs, and leak or hole detection. For leak detection, we offer complete light and air tester controls.

SD220 System
Dual-probe, non-contacting double shell and missing tab for conversion presses.
A standard component on conversion presses all over the world, this SD220 double shell and missing tab detection system provides two key quality inspection points on the conversion press, preventing two shells from entering a press and ensuring the tab has been attached as the end exits the machine.
DS150 Series
Dual-probe, non-contacting double sheet detection systems for all metal types.
A DS150 Series control includes a nice range of controls, including everything from basic to ultimate features. When paired with two non-contacting double sheet sensors, it can measure a wide range of thicknesses for all metal types.
These control systems detect double sheet instances, where the metal is able to pass between the sensor for a non-contacting, non-marring solution. Perfect for sheet feeders for the automotive, canmaking, and other metal forming industries.
DS1522
Air leak detection system for Borden/Alcoa-style can body leak testers.
The MD30 TestAlert upgrades 3-piece can or easy open end leak testers with today's technology. Designed to replace older, obsolete controls such as the MD2, MD3, and MD20. The system includes an easy-to-use touchscreen display that shows detailed information about the tester and allows for easier troubleshooting. It was designed for Borden/Alcoa style can or end testers, but works just as well with other OEM tester machines.
