Under square can bodies are jamming before / in the tooling
Remedy:
- Check the blank cutting tolerances and blank squareness. See attached PDF
- Adjust the rollformer (roller shaft clearance and spring pressure) according to the manual.
- Control if there is a high difference in the tin plate hardness, by rollforming 10 bodies without welding.
- Put them on the floor in line and compare the difference in the rollforming overlap.
- Put them on the floor in line and compare the difference in the rollforming overlap.
- Check if the de-stacking process is going well.
- Make sure the tin plate is guided tight, and the separating air is positioned well.
- Make sure the tin plate is guided tight, and the separating air is positioned well.
- Control the timing of the tin plate transport in between two transport fingers.
- Make sure that the guidance channel is properly adjusted.
- The intersection to the pre-calibration of the calibration crown is most important.
- The intersection to the pre-calibration of the calibration crown is most important.
- Check the position of each (inside and outside!) transport finger compared to rollformed can body.
- Check the offset of each finger pair itself.
- Move the can body slowly forward (X1 and X6 by slow mode function) and observe eventual shaking of the can body until the welding point.

- If a third finger exists:
- The third finger must be 0.5 mm behind the upper main pusher fingers!
- The third finger must be 0.5 mm behind the upper main pusher fingers!
- Reset the calibration crown completely.
- Make sure that each pre-calibration roller is turning easily!
- If needed lubricate their shafts slightly and clean the roller afterwards. Make sure that these rollers are as close as possible to each other!
- If needed lubricate their shafts slightly and clean the roller afterwards. Make sure that these rollers are as close as possible to each other!
- Measure the speed of the flat belt in the calibration crown:
- The speed must be absolutely identical with the copper wire speed!
- The speed must be absolutely identical with the copper wire speed!
- Measure the over travel:
- Short can heights shall have 1 mm over travel.
- Short can heights shall have 1 mm over travel.
- The center of the diabolo roller (equal to the center of calibration crown) shall be 1–2 mm before the welding center.
