Topwall TIR's maintained at well below 10 microns
for extended production periods at canmaking speeds of 300cpm are
a reality with the latest advances in Bodymaker technology from
CarnaudMetalbox Engineering.
B3 and B4 Bodymaker customers can now take full
advantage of our latest Bodymaker technology by fitting our rotary
cupfeed upgrade package.
The leader pin arrangement is employed to more
accurately align the blank holder and redraw die. The redraw die
is held in a holder which is fixed on the tool cradle centre line
for improved redraw progression.
The rotary cup feed was developed on a test
rig with the aid of a high-speed camera. Cups were fed at 700cpm
without damage, and following production trials on a 5000 machine
running at 400cpm, incidences of misfed cups was halved compared
with existing 5000 Bodymakers.
