The cup is delivered into the bodymaker toolset Brief reminder of the DWI technology The toolset starts with a redraw tool (in green)

slide-11
SLIDE 11

The ram pushes the cup through the re-draw tool and gives it its new, final diameter

slide-12
SLIDE 12

www.slac.com.cn www.slac.com.cn

The ram then pushes the can through three or four successive dies, each getting smaller in diameter until the final wall thickness is arrived at through a process known as thinning or ‘ironing’ The metal flows back up the can wall and increases the can height

The ram pushes the can

  • nto the base forming

tool, which gives the end a pressure resistant and stackable ‘dome’ shape

slide-14
SLIDE 14

The ram reverses movement and the can is taken away from the punch with a mixture of air pressure from the ram and mechanical stripping by a ring of fingers, depositing the can

  • nto pickup fingers on the the

discharge unit

Dynamic Balance

  • Two cans from each stroke
  • Two reciprocating rams on a single

flywheel, with toolpacks at either end

  • Driven by a single central motor and

crankshaft

The Boxer

  • Working like a ‘contra

engine’, the rams operate in opposite directions, counteracting horizontal vibration force and creating an almost perfect dynamic balance.

Very little vibration and noise is created and there is no need for floor installations with deep foundations.

Simple fixing mechanisms Even at 350cpm, vibration is only 0.011mm, ten times less than conventional bodymakers, this is almost not discernible

Smaller footprint than 2 conventional Bodymakers

Footprint 14.1 m² Footprint 17.0 m²

The Boxer

  • Twice the output of a conventional Bodymaker
  • Reduced floor space
  • Energy use per can reduced by at least 40%
  • Energy use per can reduced by at least 40%
  • Very low vibration
  • Commercial: the first machine has been delivered to a customer in

Europe

  • The List Price is less than 2 conventional SLAC Bodymakers and no

more than a single competitive Bodymaker.

  • Maintaining SLAC’s vision of offering the industry the best possible

Return on Investment

  • The Boxer will be on view in Metpack
