The 5000 Series Bodymaker is an advanced, horizontal, double action press for production of steel or aluminium DWI cans at high speeds and efficiences. Designed ultimately to be capable of 500cpm, the 5000 has already run at speeds up to 450cpm in production. The increase in speed has been made possible by a greatly simplified drive mechanism, with the main drive connected directly to the crankshaft. Using sophisticated computer modelling techniques the crankshaft has been overbalanced to minimise vibration. To improve reliability an air bag based hold down mechanism is used to control the cup redraw tooling. As standard, the 5000 has a hydraulic clutch/brake system to provide reliable machine control with minimal maintenance. It incorporates our well proven rapid stop module which controls braking to allow accurate stopping of the machine at high speed. The 5000 Bodymaker tool cradle can be designed to suit your specific tooling requirements.
