INTRODUCTION
Cans are fed from the Bodymaker into a Vacuum Infeed Turret of the Trimmer, from where they are
loaded onto self centring tooling. The can is held stationary whilst a penetrating disc moves eccentrically
against an Outer Knife Ring, trimming the can in one progressive movement.
On completion of the trimming operation the trimmed can exits the trimmer via Discharge Guides. The
trimmed ring is ejected separately to the can by means of Ejector Ring with air assistance and sent down a
Trim Discharge Chute.
The Trimming process performed by any one of the trimmers four tooling stations in the Main Turret can
be broken down into a series of steps (pages 2 and 3 refer).
This section of the manual provides detailed information about the 550 Trimmer trimming process and
features of the main assemblies.

Trimming Process:
The Trimming process performed by any one of the four tooling stations in the Main turret can be broken
down into a series of steps (illustration refers):
1 A vacuum assisted Infeed Turret (Starwheel) delivers the can to the Pusher where vacuum is then
applied to the base of the can via the Pusher Pad.
2 The Pusher loads the untrimmed can body into the Trimming Head Tooling.
3 Within the Trimming Head an Inside Penetrator moves against an Outer Knife to trim the can rim.
4 The trimmed can is withdrawn from the Trimming Head and vacuum to the Pusher is turned off
allowing the can to exit the Trimmer via Discharge Guide Rails.
5 The Trimmed Ring is then ejected by means of an Ejector Ring and air assistance. It exits down a chute
which is connected to the factory scrap removal system.
2 Cans are fed via a `Can Stop' arrangement and Guide Rails to a constant velocity Starwheel (Infeed Tur-
ret). Vacuum applied from the centre of each Starwheel pocket holds the can.
5 The trimming process occurs through 105˚ revolution of the Main Turret.
6 The trimmed cans are held in contact with the Pusher by vacuum until they are passed to the Discharge
Guide Rails.
7 A further 12˚ rotation of the Main Turret after the trimmed can has been discharged the trimmed ring
is ejected from the tooling and down a Trim Discharge Chute.

Trimmer Drive:
Drive for the Trimmer is transmitted from a Gearbox and Motor Unit mounted on the Trimmers' Main
Frame. A Drive Pinion (33T) keyed to the gearbox shaft transfers the drive to a Helical Gear (76T) locked
to the end of the Main Turret Shaft.
The Main Turret rotates around a stationary Ring Gear a gear (27T) manufactured into the Trimmer Spin-
dle and provides rotation of the Trimmer Head Tooling.
Drive to the Infeed Starwheel is transferred from the Main Turret Drive gear to a anti backlash Helical
Gear (76T) locked to the end of the Infeed Turret Shaft.

Trim Ejection:
Trim is ejected from the Tooling by means of air assisted Trim Ejection Ring within each Tooling Head. Air
is supplied through the Main Turret Shaft to each Tooling Head and is controlled to eject the trim follow-
ing discharge of the trimmed can from the Tooling Station. The trim is prevented from being ejected too
early by the Trim Cam profile with the trim gripped until the trimmed can has been discharged.
The arrangement for controlling the supply of air to each Tooling Head is by means of an Air Manifold
Assembly secured to the Turret Drive End of the Main Shaft.
Air Connection is by flexible hose to the Air Manifold Assembly Hub which is located and dowelled to a
Timing Disc. The Disc is in contact with a Wear Plate (with four holes for porting purposes), which is
secured to a Backplate and Main Shaft. The Timing Disc is prevented from rotation by adjustable Tie Bar
type bracket and Timing Plate.
The effect of the porting by Timing Disc of air, which is always ON during normal running conditions, is
to provide `Trim Eject' for the required period.
The Trim Eject Air Pressure is set to 14PSI (1 BAR). The Pressure Regulator has been factory set to this
pressure and its locking key removed, this to prevent altering the pressure as any increase may cause dam-
age to the Ejector Ring

1.12 Safety
The 5500 Canmaker machine has been designed to incorporate safety features which will safeguard per-
sonnel operating the machine. No system can however be fool-proof against all contingencies, in particu-
lar irresponsible actions of personnel operating and maintaining the machine.
Personnel should be fully conversant with the machine controls and have studied the following safety
instructions. National Safety Regulations must aso be observed.
If in doubt as to any safety aspect of the machine or operating and maintenance procedures then first seek
advice before starting work
1.12.1 5500 Canmaker - Bodymaker Safety
a When clearing wrecked cans from the machine it is important to wear safety gloves to avoid personnel
injury from the sharp edges of the damaged cans.
b To avoid injury caused by splashes from coolants used in the machine it is important to wear safety
glasses.
c Because of the nature of the machine, ie high noise level during the press function, it is essential to
wear hearing protection.
d Before machine maintence and working with the pneumatic system it important to first turn off the
machine air supply to discharge all the air from the machine.
e When Barring the machine by hand it is important to follow the correct Barring procedure.
Do not use the Barring Tool with a force that causes the Flywheel to spin at a speed that does not
allow the tool to be easily removed.
f When lifting the Tooling from the machine always use a Tool Rest to support the Tooling.
1.12.2 5500 Canmaker - Trimmer Safety.
a The Outside Knife of the Tooling Heads has a sharpened cutting edge and extra care should be taken
when handling. Always wear safety gloves when deemed necessary.
b The trimmed ring and trimmed edge of the can should be treat with respect because of their sharp
nature.
c When there are is no product present in the infeed or discharge trackwork, access can be made by hand
to the inside of the main guard and to moving machine components. It is important therefore that per-
sonnel are made aware of this possible risk.
The interface between machine and trackwork must be correctly guarded and is the responsibility of
the customer.
1.12.3 General Safety
a A Risk Assessment must be done once the machine has been installed and commissioned.
b All machine Guards must be in place and properly secured during operation.
c Maintenance:
i All work must be done by trained and competent engineers.
ii Guards may be removed for the purpose of maintenance when the machine is not operating and
E-STOPS’s are activated and all control power is locked out.
iii The Electrical Cabinet must be kept locked at all times
When it is necessary to access the cabinet then it must only be by trained personnel.
iv Isolate all source of energy prior to working on the machine.
v Components being removed or assembled on the machine must be handled with respect and if
uncertain of their weight should not be lifted single handed
d Operating the Machine:
i The operator must be fully conversant with the machine controls and know how to stop the
machine in case of an Emergency
ii Ensure that all safety devices are periodically checked
iii When turning the machine by hand it is important that the operator follows the correct procedure.
They must ensure that personnel are aware of what is intended and are clear of the machine.

5500 Canmaker
Installation Drawing
2.1 Installation
NOTE: The Trimmer Unit has been supplied as part of the 5500 Canmaker and until it has been correctly
installed it will not be completely guarded. attempts therefore MUST NOT be made to run this unit as a
separate machine.
2.1.1 Receipt of the 550 Trimmer
The 550 Trimmer is prepared at the CarnaudMetalbox Engineering factory for shipment by commercial
freight carrier.
The equipment will generally be supplied in an open crate constructed on a heavy wood ‘skid' base. The
machine will be assembled and packed with other accessories.
IMPORTANT: New machines are supplied with Infill panels at the machine Infeed and Discharge. These
must not be removed until ready to connect to the factory conveyor system, when they will need to be
removed. The interface between the machine and conveyor must be correctly guarded, this is the responsi-
bility of the customer.
2.1.2 Bills of Lading
These should be checked thoroughly when the shipment arrives at the customers plant and any discrep-
ancy be notified to CarnaudMetalbox Engineering immediately.
2.1.3 Off loading and Handling
When positioning the 550 Trimmer, check to ensure that the base adjusting screws and the levelling plates
are fitted. The 550 Trimmer and Electrical Control Cabinet must be sited on an area that will withstand
their weight (Installation Drawing refers).
2.1.4 Machine Preparation
All procedures relative to off loading, siting and subsequent handling of the 550 Trimmer are the responsi-
bility of the customer or his duly authorized agent.
CarnaudMetalbox Engineering recognise that most moving organisations have suitable equipment and
established procedures for handling heavy precision machinery but the following procedures are recom-
mended:
a. Off load any accessory equipment and set aside out of the working area.
b. Systematically unpack, check and prepare each item for movement to its siting.
c. Before commencing to move ensure that there is nothing loose in the machine and that all guard
doors are locked. If moving the machine after a previous installation, ensure that all the wiring has
been disconnected.
d. It is recommended that the 550 Trimmer is lifted and moved into position by use of a Fork - Lift
Truck. Refer to the machine Installation drawing for recommended positions on the machine for lift-
ing with the truck.
After levelling the 550 trimmer the system should be prepared as follows:
Cleaning: All brush coated (anti - corrosive) surfaces require cleaning; check all surfaces and clean as nec-
essary with an approved solvent. (e.g. Mobil, Sevasol No. 5 or equivalent)
Care is needed with cleaning agents on the guarding. No chemicals should be allowed to contact the win-
dows, which are of polycarbonate material, as staining may occur.
CAUTION: Most effective cleaning solvents are toxic when inhaled or ingested and prolonged skin contact
can be harmful.
These solvents are combustible when exposed to an open flame, sparks or excessive heat and should be
used only in an open well ventilated area. Situations that could initiate combustion must be avoided.
Personnel working with strong solvents must wear protective clothing, breathing masks, eye protection
and rubber gloves.
The 5500 Canmaker is supplied as two units, a Bodymaker and a Trimmer complete with Interconnecting
Conveyor for taking cans from the discharge of the bodymaker to the trimmer infeed.
Once the Bodymaker has been correctly installed, the Trimmer and Interconnecting Conveyor can then be
fitted to the Bodymaker
a. Position the Trimmer with Interconnecting Conveyor and Link Guarding in its correct location in
relation to the Bodymaker (refer to machine Installation drawing for machine weights). Use a fork-lift
truck to move the Trimmer and adjust the trimmer levelling screws to give height requirement.
b. Secure the Trimmer/Bodymaker Link Guarding to the Bodymaker
c. Check the setting of the Trimmer Infeed Guides (Section 4 refers).
d. Adjust the Conveyor Chain tension to remove slack. Do Not over tighten.
e. The Flexible Vacuum Hose to the Infeed Turret will have been removed prior to despatch and will
require refitting. Connect the hose from the Vacuum Pump to the Air Duct on the Trimmer. Secure in
place with jubilee clips.
Compressed Air: Is required to operate the 550 Trimmer. A supply of `clean air' is satisfactory provided
that a constant flow of 15ft3/min. at 80p.s.i. (0.42M3/min. at 5.5 Bar) is assured.
Vacuum: Factory Vacuum required for satisfactory operation is 43CFM at 22”HG. vacuum is required far
the Trimmer Can stop, Infeed Turret and Pusher.
Electrical: Electrical wiring and connections must be in accordance with specification contained within the
standards of the country of the machine purchase.
Refer to the machine Wiring Diagram supplied with the Electrical Control Cabinet.

3.1.1 Operator Station Fault Indicators
The 550 Trimmer is fitted with the following fault indicator lamps. The fault lamps are latched and will not
go off until the fault has been cleared and the RESET button pressed.
Any of these faults will cause the machine to execute an immediate stop.
a Guard Open: Indicates that one or more of the machine guards are open.
b Motor Overload or Drive Fault: This light indicates two different faults:
i. If the lamp flashes it means that the variable speed drive is indicating a fault, or that the trimmer
Motor Thermostat has tripped
ii. If the lamp lights steadily it indicates that the Trimmer motor overload has tripped.
c Internal Jam:
Indicates that within a preset time of cans entering the machine they have not been seen to leave the
machine on a regular basis. In general, the system expects to see cans leaving the machine at least every
300 ms (equivalent to 200 cpm). This value can be altered in the PLC software.
d Pusher Jam:
Indicates that the Mandrel Jam sensor has been operated, as a result of the pusher being unable to load
a can into the tooling. This may be due to trim scrap being left in the tooling head. Having cleared the
jam it is also necessary to reset mechanism so that the spring loaded flag covers the sensor and to wind
the machine round by hand for at least two stations, before pressing the RESET button.
e Discharge Jam: This lamp indicates two different types of Discharge Jam:
i. If the lamp flashes it means that the cans have built back to the Discharge Jam sensor located in
the trackwork downstream of the machine.
ii. If the lamp lights steadily it means that cans have built right back into the machine and opened
the discharge gate.
f Low Vacuum or Low Air:
i. If the lamp flashes it means that Vacuum to the Trimming Head is insufficient or is turned off
ii. If the lamp lights steadily it means that Air to the Trimming Head is insufficient or is turned off
3.1.2 Operator Station, Pushbuttons and Selector Switches
a The 550 Trimmer is fitted with the following Pushbuttons and Selector Switches:
b Emergency Stop Illuminated and retained Pushbutton: (one on the console and one on the opposite
side of the machine). Pressing either of the EMERGENCY STOP buttons will cause the machine to exe-
cute an immediate stop.
c Reset Yellow Pushbutton: When depressed, removes all fault messages and signalled faults, and permits
restarting of the machine (providing faults have been cleared).
d Trimmer Stop Yellow Mushroom Pushbutton: This button executes an orderly stop of the machine. If
the machine is processing cans when the this button is depressed the canstop will be inserted and the
machine allowed to run for a few seconds to empty out before the drive is switched off bringing the
machine to rest.
e Trimmer Start Green Pushbutton: When depressed, with RESET having previously been pressed will
start the Trimmer. The Vacuum Pump will start providing suction at the Can Stop, Infeed Turret and
Pusher.
f Canstop Manual/Auto Selector: In the AUTO position the canstop will open and close automatically
when the machine is running. The MANUAL mode is used primarily when taking a can sample from
the machine - see below. The Manual position can also be used to stop temporarily the flow of cans
through the trimmer, but if this is done it will also stop the bodymaker from producing cans after a few
seconds.
g Sample Trim/Untrim Spring Return Selector: Selecting SAMPLE TRIM on the Spring Return Selector,
with MANUAL previously selected on the CAN STOP MANUAL/AUTO Selector Switch will allow a
sample of four cans to enter the Trimmer, one for each head starting at head number one. These
trimmed cans can then be caught at the machine discharge, the first will have been trimmed in head
number one.
Selecting SAMPLE UNTRIM on the Spring Return Selector with MANUAL previously selected on the
CAN STOP MANUAL/AUTO Selector Switch will allow a single can to exit from the Interconnecting
Conveyor.

OPERATION ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
4.1 Introduction
The procedures contained within this section of the manual, coupled with other informative areas of the
manual should provide the user with sufficient confidence to tackle the range of component replacements
most likely to be required.
Some procedures i.e. removal and replacement of the Trimming Head Tooling will be required at reasona-
ble intervals when wear or damage to tooling occurs, others however will only be required when changing
to run a different can size or at major machine overhauls when replacement assemblies or components are
required.
The users attention is drawn to the references given at the end of each procedure to the relevant assemblies
in the spares section of this manual.
Machine reliability will depend upon careful maintenance of the machine's components and a programme
of evaluative inspection must be established, linked to preventative maintenance procedures.
Always bear in mind that an adjustment to one operation may affect the timing of other operations, so
before starting the machine under power carry out the following checks.
Ensure that:-
a. All adjusted parts have been tightened down.
b. No tools have been left on or in the machine.
c. The machine is properly timed by trimming a can by hand operation.
When positioning a machine station for setting or maintenance, use the grip handle (instruction 4.2
refers) to rotate the Main Turret and position the station to the required position.
d. All guard doors are closed and fixed guards / covers have been securely fitted.

OPERATION ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
The Trimmer approach to setting the Trimming Spindle and Pusher Assemblies simplifies the procedures
required and allows for swift removal and replacement of the Cartridges which are preset to provide the
critical dimensional accuracy needed for movement of the Pusher and Trimming Head. This approach to
setting is only possible because during the course of manufacture and assembly, the considerable degree of
accuracy necessary is `built in' to the Main Turret and Cam Assemblies.
Before discussing the following setting procedures which will only be required when, a) the machine is
being built or b) when dismantling and replacement parts are necessary, it will be useful to fully under-
stand the `basis for setting', 4.3 refers.

OPERATION ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
The broad principle involved with these procedures is that of establishing the two critical dimensions dis-
cussed on the previous page for each of the four Trimming Stations. Commencing with Station 1 in the fol-
lowing sequence of steps (machine setting drawing refers):-
4 With Follower ‘C’ on top of the Trimmer Cam adjust Shim Pack `E' to achieve correct trimming
5 With Follower ‘G’ on top of Pusher Cam (Pusher fully out) slacken Lock Screw `J' and turn Adjusting
Screw ‘H’ to give dimension 64,82mm. Re-tighten Lock Screw ‘J’. Adjust Follower ‘G’ to give 0,12/
0.20mm (0.005"/0.008”) clearance between the Cam Follower and Track.
Note the above instructions are only included as a general guide to the machine setting procedure. For full
details reference will need to be made to the 550 Trimmer Build Book, a document used when the machine
is being built.

Note: It is not necessary to remove the Trimming Head when changing the Outside Knife (1).
a. Position the Trimming Head at the Infeed side of the machine (before the cutting takes place) and to
protect the Knife and Penetrator hitting each over and causing damage insert a Nylotron Tooling Pro-
tection Bung (supplied with the machine) into the Tooling
b. Use the Retainer Spanner supplied with the machine and unscrew and remove the Knife Retainer (7).
c. The Outside Knife (1) can then be lifted from the machine, care must be taken not to knock the cutting
edge of the Knife against other parts of the machine.
d. Replace in reverse order, ensuring before refitting that the mating surfaces are clean as any debris will
affect the cutting clearances and may damage the Knife.
Remember to remove the Tooling Protection Bung.
4.10.4 To remove the Inside Penetrator (8).
The Inside Penetrator will require exchanging for a new part after a period of use.
Note: It is not recommended that this part is removed with the Tooling Head still fitted to the machine.
To remove:
a. Remove the Tooling Head from the machine (Instruction 4.10.1 refers)
b. Remove Penetrator Retainer (9), secured by four M5 Soc. Hd Cap Screws to the Penetrator Carrier
(10)
c. Remove M6 Hex Nut (11) and Washer (12) from the Penetrator Stud. The Inside Penetrator can then
be lifted from its location.
d. Replace in reverse order ensuring that the Tooling Head angular position is such that the Cam Roller
(4) is placed in the correct relation to the Roller Spindle (5)
Note: Before replacing the Tooling Head refer to instructions 4.10.5 for IMPORTANT assembly
instructions.
During the assembly of a Trimming Head parts must be kept clean and free from burrs as this could cause
errors in measurement/setting and therefore affect the performance of the Trimmer.
If a Trimming Head has been taken off the machine because of a trimming problem in production then it
should be stripped down, cleaned and checked before re-assembly.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all parts are marked so that they can be reassembled to the same Head.
The following procedure assumes that all the parts being used are new.
When rebuilding, the following checks should be made to ensure that parts are not worn out of tolerance:-
a. Build up the Assembly as shown (Fig 1):
i. Fit the Key to the Knife Carrier Housing
ii. Check that the Knife Carrier Housing moves freely when in position, secured to the Backplate
with Knife Carrier Retainer and eight M5 Soc. Hd Cap Screws.
After checking remove the Housing from the assembly.
iii. Fit the Bearings to the Penetrator Holder and secure in place using Bearing Retainer, Spring and
Circlip.
Note: To compress the Wavo Spring fit the Bearing Retainer and Circlip into the 42mm dia. bore
of the Penetrator Holder and tap down into position using a 41.5mm dia. Drift.
iv. Fit the Penetrator Guide to the Penetrator Holder and secure in position with round head screws.
v. Tap the Hollow Pins into the Backplate so that the bottom of the Pins are just below the bottom
surface of the Backplate and fit the four Spacers to the Backplate, aligning the screw holes in the
Spacers with the with the Screws in the Backplate.
vi. Fit the Slide Plate, lightly oil both sides before assembly.
vii. Locate the Penetrator Holder over the Hollow Pins and fit the Ejector Ring. Secure in position
using the Penetrator Holder Retainer and M6 Soc. Screws and Nordlock Washers. Check that the
Ejector Ring moves freely and that the Slide Plate also moves easily when the screws are tightened.

4.16 Maintenance
For efficient operation of the Trimmer it is essential that the machine components are correctly maintained
and reproduced on the following Sheets are recommended Preventative Maintenance sheets.
Note: Preventative Maintenance is shown to be required three months, but depending on customer experi-
ence and machine operation it may be that this timetable will require modifying.
For Machine Lubrication, as some lubrication is required more frequently than every three months it is
important also to refer to the Lubrication Chart supplied with the machine.
A copy of the Lubrication Chart can be found attached to the machine guard and is also reproduced in this

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Introduction
Can defects are attributable to one, or perhaps a combination of three factors:
a. Incorrect incoming can quality
b. Incorrect machine settings
c. Machine fault.
Careful examination of defective cans and logical interpretation of the damage is required to establish the
true cause of the defects.
The importance of rectifying the actual cause of a production problem cannot be overstated. Experience
shows that palliative or half measures, taken urgently to restart production, can lead to increased difficul-
ties.
Typical can defects are described on the following pages and the causes of defects are categorised under
two headings:
`Can':- Representing conditions and damage preset in can bodies received at the Trimmer
Hopefully, not all of the defects noted will occur in any particular can plant and the operator is advised to
keep supplementary personal notes of any of the faults encountered on their own production line.
These pages are an introductory guide to trouble-shooting when things go wrong. They are no substitute
for anticipatory preventative inspection and maintenance by an experienced operator aware of the problem
potential in their own plant.
Condition
Cause: Can
1 Can Height is too large going into the Trimmer for the height of can being trimmed (Trim length
greater than 19mm).
Cause: Machine
1 The Pusher is set incorrectly - Reset the Pusher Cam Follower Eccentric and Pusher Stop.
Condition
Cause : Can
1 Can Height is too short causing incomplete trim around the can.
3 Dome depth too shallow, can has `rocky' base - Re adjust Bodymaker air strip pressure.
Cause : Machine
1 Vacuum to the Pusher is insufficient causing the can to move on the Pusher Pad.
4 The Pusher Pad is not parallel and concentric with the Tooling Head, possibly caused by the Pusher
Pad not being fitted correctly or the Pusher adjustment poor.
Condition
Burr on the outside of trimmed edge which is not localised but appears on all or most of the can circumfer-
ence.
Cause : Machine
2 Axial interference between the Penetrator and Outside Knife causing the Knife to become blunt very
rapidly.
3 The axial clearance between the Inside Penetrator and Outside Knife is too large.
4 The Penetration of the inside Penetrator through the material is too small.
5 The Penetration is inconsistent around the can caused by eccentricity in the Tooling or uneven wear in
the Spindle. This can be seen by a burr, more on one side than the other
Condition
Localized sliver, burr or step condition with the initial penetration point. All are greater or lesser effects of
the same fault.
Cause:Can
2 Damaged sidewall or base causing it not to locate in the turret pocket or hold onto the Pusher Pad.
5 Short Cans
Cause:Machine
3 Too much penetration. This will be especially the case if a sliver is present.
7 Pusher Pad is eccentric to the Tooling Head (check using fixture in the toolkit
5. Spiral trim
Condition
A can that has a `Spiral Trim', caused by the can breaking free of the Pusher Vacuum during trimming.
Cause: Can
2 Local damage to the base of the can caused at the Bodymaker or in transfer to the Trimmer
Cause: Machine
1 Incorrect machine timing causing excessive rotation of the Trimming Spindle during the trimming
process. (551 Trimming Station only)
2 Inadequate Vacuum (check, using a gauge on the Pusher Pad that there is a minimum of 20" Hg Vac-
uum).
Roughness Protrusion
Condition
Localized roughness or protrusion felt on the top edge of the can, felt when you LIGHTLY run your finger
around the top edge of the can.
Cause: Can
Cause: Machine
1 Worn or chipped Outside Knife or Internal Penetrator - Replace Penetrator or re-sharpen Knife.
2 Eccentricity in Tooling causing roughness on one side due to poor penetration at that side.
Condition
Regular spaced visual marks on the cut edge and/or regular spaced creases or flats that can be felt by hand
in the top of the sidewall. Both effects are generally caused by the same problem.
Cause: Machine
1 This condition is caused by over penetration of the material by the cutter If there is a small amount of
over penetration it can be visible from the top but if excessive will cause creasing of the sidewall as well.
The solution is to reduce penetration without causing a burr on the outside edge or incomplete cutting.
2 If the problem only occurs on one side to the cut edge then there may be a problem in the concentricity
of the Tooling.
Condition
A flare at the top of the can that will normally be either localised or around only a small circumference of
the can.
Cause: Can
1 Untrimmed can height too small or rollback too excessive causing the rollback to appear in the top of
the trimmed can
Cause: Machine
1 Trim length is below 3mm and vacuum applied to the Ejector Ring does not withdraw the Ejector Ring
during trimming
9. Can collapse
Condition
A can thrown out at the discharge of the Trimmer and appears to have a severely creased sidewall and a
very irregular top cut or no cut at all. It may be a can that has collapsed during the transfer from the Infeed
Turret to the Tooling. It is likely though that this condition would have stopped the machine due to the
Pusher Jam detector.
Cause: Can
3 Severely out of round can, possibly caused by damaged Bodymaker unloader pockets or incorrect air
strip pressure.
Cause: Machine
2 End of can damaged by infeed causing it to misload onto the Tooling. Check the setting of the Infeed
End Guide (open end)
Condition
Dent or Scratch in the sidewall of the can that is present at the Trimmer discharge but not at the Body-
maker discharge.
Cause: Can
1 Can has bulge at the base of the sidewall, making it tight in the Guides and Half Mould Pocket.
Cause: Machine
1 Infeed Guide (open end) is set too tight causing the can to get dragged through the guide.
3 Can Stop release timing incorrect causing the first can to be damaged by the Infeed Starwheel.
6 Vacuum to the Pusher is applied too late, causing the can to hit the Lower Discharge Guide
Condition
Dent or Scratch in the base area of the can, not apparent at the discharge from the Bodymaker.
Cause: Machine
1 Guide Plate to starwheel at base end of can is set to give a step up to the Pusher Pad. Reset to ensure
that it is set slightly proud of the Pusher Pad.
