standard tooling

Innovative one-stage tool design
Standard tooling system for all common and non critical ends and shells.
When making the can end, it is important that the material is not stretched in the beads, in the counter-sink inclination or in the countersink radius. This preserves the material's strength and prevents damage to the tin and lacquer coating. This is achieved by the clamping and blank holder forces controlled by pneumatic springs not increasing the clamping forces as the tool closes.
Long service life of the dies thanks to carbide-tipped tools.
Possibility of regrinding the cutting ring several times.
Individual tools can be removed very easily and fast. The tools are pre-centered and fixed with one central screw only. Additional tool centring after tool exchange is not required.
Short change over time for the complete tool in approx. 30 minutes.
The end is drawn in one step.
Suitable for SR and DR material.
Suitable for easy profile geometry's.
No mechanical springs for ejector blank holder and stripper ring.
Tool operated by compressed air pressure.
Limited down gauging possible.
Thinning less than 10 %.
