Can Making Machines

                                                                                         

When the average person opens a can of anything at their home they really do tend to take for granted the level of technology that went into the making of the can they hold in their hand. You see, what was once basic systems only a few decades back has advanced by leaps and bounds to the level of technology that can making is at today. In fact even now, new systems are being developed to enhance the ability of product producers and marketer to “can” their merchandise for distribution even more expediently.

A case in point would be the recent announcement by tgcan.co.uk that they have almost completed engineering and design work on their new generation advanced can decorator. They claim that this new decorator will allow for improved changeover times along with decreased maintenance requirements while simultaneously offering several new features.

New Eight Color Can Decorating Capacity

While the topic concerning the prospect of a new commercial can decorator with 8 color capacity may seem mundane to the person pushing their cart through the local grocery store, it has in fact piqued the interest of many in the international manufacturing community. After all its basically common knowledge that the better decorated a can is, the better it sells.

New Systems Graphics Technology In Can Making Machines

Systems graphics is yet one more innovative dual purpose development to be integrated into can making machines. So just what is systems graphics and how has it been applied to can making machines? In short, systems graphics describes the means by which the actual ongoing functions of a can making machine are displayed for an operator on a screen in a safe, remote location in a real time basis.

New Systems Graphics Technology

Information that can be displayed for the machine operator include fault finding data, component recognition information and maintenance activity. Systems graphics technology not only allows for safer operation but it also allows an operator to monitor several functions simultaneously from one location. Not to mention that systems graphics also increases the reliability and accuracy of all systems information.

Still More High Tech Development In Can Making Machines

Still other more recent developments in can making machines include the Hydratech double action press. Its a new advanced design unit thats capable of a broad range of phase angles and shut heights and it also allows for reduced development time for cut edge options in can development. Also new developments in shell making systems has increased unit output capacities to as high as 10,000 per minute.

Isn't 10,000 Cans Per Minute a little Too Fast?!

So with all these cans being designed developed and produced at these new blinding speeds one would think that the age old production rule “more speed = less accuracy” would of course apply. Not to worry because the same level of technological development has gone into creating new systems to monitor quality. New systems that automatically monitor and make machine adjustments on a real time basis insuring consistent accuracy in production.
