Abstract: A method of forming a hollow article (2) comprises the steps of providing a metal blank in the form of a disk. Subsequently, a metal blank is transferred to a first forming station which comprises a punch and a die. A metal blank is formed into a cup having a sidewall and a closed base. A boundary lubrication is provided between the die and the metal blank by application of a lubricant.Hereinafter, the metal cup is provided to a set of forming stations in a deep drawing transfer press. The set of forming stations comprises at least one set of punches and dies. Said metal cup is deep drawn into a hollow article (2) having a sidewall (4) and a closed base (7) with an inner and an outer surface (, 8, 6, 9) by the action of said at least one set of punches and dies. Subsequently, the hollow article (2) is provided to a subsequent forming station in the deep drawing transfer press.Hereinafter, an individual identification mark is supplied to the outer surface (6, 9) of the container sidewall (4) and/or of the base (7) by means of laser engraving at said subsequent forming station.

Abstract: A blank holder device for a drawing device, for example a drawing press. The blank holder device has a blank holder sleeve, which, in a predetermined position exerts a blank holder force on a blank part. The sleeve is fastened to a head part and is stationary relative to it. To move the blank holder sleeve in a stroke direction, the head part is borne, through a head part guiding arrangement, at least at two front guide locations, to undergo translational motion in a stroke direction, and it is braced to be essentially stationary in all directions at right angles to the stroke direction. On the side opposite the blank holder sleeve, the head part is connected with at least one drive element of the blank holder drive device and that can, together with the head part, be moved by a motor and a coupling arrangement in the stroke direction.

Abstract: A method for manufacture of a metal can body is described in which two or more stretching operations are used so as to reduce the thickness of the central part of a cup base, prior to drawing the cup sidewall and forming a can body. By using two or more stretching operations, it has been found possible to control the thickness of the base without significantly reducing pressure performance of the finished can. Alternative embodiments of apparatus comprising tooling for carrying out this method are also described.

Abstract: A cooling gas system for a can bodymaker tool pack is provided. The cooling gas system uses a compressed gas to cool a punch and/or a die pack. That is, a compressed gas is delivered to at least one location adjacent the punch and die pack. A nozzle assembly directs the compressed gas toward a selected location. As the compressed gas passes through the nozzle assembly, or immediately after passing through the nozzle assembly, the compressed gas expands. As is known, an expanding gas cools as it expands. Thus, a cool gas is directed to the surface of the punch and the die pack. The cool gas absorbs heat from the punch and die pack thereby cooling the heated components.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed which are suitable for use in the manufacture of two-piece metal containers. In particular, the method and apparatus disclose a way of making cups from metal sheet using a combination of stretching and (re-)drawing operations. The resulting cups have the advantage of reducing the thickness of the base of the cup relative to the ingoing gauge of material.

Abstract: A formed material manufacturing method according to present invention includes the steps of forming a convex formed portion by performing at least one forming process on a surface treated metal plate, and performing ironing on the formed portion using an ironing mold after forming the formed portion. The ironing mold includes a punch that is inserted into the formed portion, and a die having a pushing hole into which the formed portion is pushed together with the punch. An inner peripheral surface of the pushing hole extends non-parallel to an outer peripheral surface of the punch, and the inner peripheral surface is provided with a clearance that corresponds to an uneven plate thickness distribution, in the pushing direction, of the formed portion prior to the ironing relative to the outer peripheral surface to ensure that an amount of ironing applied to the formed portion remains constant in the pushing direction.
