Concept of a ‘ dual stroke ’ bodymaker first put forward January 2006 in response to Flexible manufacturing. Perceived benefits: Greater range of can sizes from single machine Maintain higher speed at shorter stroke. 22 ” 26 ” stroke. 22 ” 26 ” stroke.

Dynamic effects of dual stroke configuration 26” geometry remains as standard: Velocities & accelerations remain unchanged Short stroke geometry: Velocities & accelerations of some components increase slightly. Reaction forces comparable with standard geometry Swing lever mass increases around 12 kg
Capabilities Speed: 22” stroke: rated at 390 cpm 26” stroke: rated at 340 cpm Can sizes: 202, 15cl211, 56.8cl Note: Max. can height 205 mm, using 2 ring tool pack Tallest cans shoehorned in using thinner dies
Cup feed is the main challenge 26” BDC position 22” BDC position Redraw cam Design considerations BDC does not correlate between stroke changes Disrupts the relationship between ram position & redraw cam zero
