Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0574670A1] The can body (11) to be welded in a welding station (14, 15, 16) is formed by bending flat sheets (2, 3, 4) gradually, bit by bit, on a linear conveying line until the can body has been formed. This linear conveying line simultaneously feeds the can bodies to the welding station. In this way, it is possible to form and weld can bodies at a high rate. <IMAGE>
