Abstract
A seaming shaft mechanism for a sealer for the attaching of a can lid to a can body includes a seaming shaft rotatable around a seaming axis, a seamer arranged at one end of the seaming shaft; as well as a sensor for the monitoring of the seaming process during the attachment of the can lid to the can body. The sensor is arranged at the seaming shaft such that the seaming process can be monitored by the sensor via a measurement of a displacement of the seaming shaft relative to the seaming axis or via a measurement of a torsion of the of the seaming shaft.

A seaming shaft mechanism for a sealer for attaching of a can lid to a can body, comprising:
- a seaming shaft rotatable around a seaming axis;
- a seamer arranged at one end of the seaming shaft;
- a seaming head shaft with a seaming head configured to affix the can lid to the can body;
- and
- a sensor configured to monitor a seaming process during the attachment of the can lid to the can body,
- the sensor is arranged at the seaming shaft or the seamer and configured to monitor the seaming process via measurement of a displacement of the seaming shaft relative to the seaming axis and/or via measurement of a torsion of the seaming shaft,
- the seaming shaft being a seaming roller shaft and the seamer being a seaming roller configured to seam the can lid to the can body.
