    摘要: A turret-head assembly including a turret head-assembly support member defining a turret-head axis and a base plate having an aperture through the center thereof, the turret head-assembly support member extending therethrough. The base plate is rigidly coupled to the turret head-assembly support member. The turret-head assembly further comprises a front housing and a pivot plate positioned between the base plate and the front housing. A first side of the pivot plate is coupled with a first side of the front housing. A second side of the pivot plate is coupled with a first side of the base plate. The pivot plate is axially movable along the turret-head axis. The turret-head assembly further comprises a plurality of rollers coupled to the pivot plate. The plurality of rollers is configured to move radially with respect to the turret-head axis. The radial movement corresponds with the axial movement of the pivot plate.

    摘要: Molds for forming formed containers with reduced or eliminated parting lines, and systems and methods of forming the formed containers, using electromagnetic radiation are disclosed. In some aspects, the forming mold includes a multi-segment mold disposed about an electromagnetic coil. The multi-segment mold having a plurality of circumferential segments, a bottom mold section and an annular ring. Each of the circumferential segments including an inner surface wherein the plurality of inner surfaces defines a desired shape of the formed containers. The bottom mold section being adapted to hold and move the pre-form articles about an electromagnetic coil and into and out of the forming mold. The annular ring being adapted to hold, seal and optionally shape a top section of the pre-form articles so as to reduce or eliminate parting lines on the surface of the formed containers.

    摘要: A symmetric, modular base for a can processing system. The base includes a leg portion comprising a plurality of openings adapted for receiving at least one of a transfer star wheel and a turret mechanism configured to perform a working operation on an article. The base further includes a first foot portion extending from a first side of the leg portion. The base further includes a second foot portion extending from the second side of the leg portion. The base further includes a plurality of openings in the first foot portion and the second foot portion, the plurality of openings of the first and second foot portion providing access to an interior portion of the base. The base is generally symmetric about a center line drawn vertically through a midpoint of the leg portion of the base between the first foot portion and the second foot portion to allow for mounting of components on either a first side or a second side of the base.

    摘要: A ram support assembly for use in a can bodymaker includes a yolk body for coupling with an end of a ram body of a ram extending from a first side of the yolk body. The yolk body is configured to be coupled to, and be driven by, an operating mechanism of the can bodymaker that is coupled to a second side of the yolk body opposite the first side via a connection arrangement. The ram support assembly also includes a slide arrangement coupled to the yolk body and configured to be coupled to a frame of the can bodymaker such that the yolk body can move linearly with respect to the frame. The slide arrangement includes: a number of rails, and a number of carriage members, wherein each rail of the number of rails has at least one carriage member of the number of carriage members slidingly engaged therewith.

    摘要: A device for inhibiting rotational motion of an article to be processed comprises a pressure plate assembly including a generally ring-shaped guide assembly. The guide assembly has and at least two guide pins extending from a first side in a transverse direction. The guide assembly further includes at least two resilient devices positioned over a respective one of the at least two guide pins and a container guide having an aperture for receiving an open end of a container moving in a first direction and for aligning the open end with a processing device. The container guide is positioned adjacent to the first side of the pressure plate assembly. At least two resilient devices are configured to be compressed in response to movement of the container guide in a first direction and are configured to decompress in response to movement of the container guide in a second, generally opposite direction.
