Abstract: A reclosable beverage can end (10) has a circumferential curl (14) centered about a center longitudinal axis (50). A circumferential wall (15) extends downwardly from the curl (14) and inwardly towards the longitudinal axis (50). A center panel (12) is produced from a metallic material and centered about the longitudinal axis (50). The center panel (12) has a public side (34) and an opposing product side (35). A tab (26) is mounted to the public side (34) of the center panel (12). A pour opening (20) is formed by an aperture in the center panel (12) and sealed by the tab (26). The pour opening (20) is at least partially defined by a pour opening curl (22) of the metallic material of the center panel (12).

Abstract: An image recorder (18) supported above a conveyor (22) captures images of a top surface of the loaded pallet (30) supported on the conveyor (22). The image is transmitted to a computer (26). A software routine stored on a memory on the computer (26) compares the image to a manufacturing specification. The software routine determines whether the image is within a manufacturing tolerance of the manufacturing specification.
