Abstract (en)

The invention provides for a method for processing can bodies in a high-speed production line wherein objects, namely can bodies, are processed consecutively in several processing steps by several processing units, wherein in at least one processing step objects are processed in parallel by at least two different processing units (10, 11) and in at least one following processing step objects are processed by a single processing unit (30), comprising the steps marking a bottom of objects processed by a first of the at least two different processing units (10, 11) with a first mark, detecting marks on objects in the at least one following processing step, conveying objects to a first separation unit (40), transmitting detection results to the first separation unit such that for each object in the first separation unit a corresponding detection result for that object is available, separating objects marked with the first mark in the first separation unit.
