In a bodymaker, the tool pack is where precision is controlled, and where can quality is won or lost.
It manages the position of the irons for progression purposes, ensuring consistent material flow and repeatable geometry through every stroke. As the can progresses, each ironing stage reduces wall thickness while maintaining structural integrity.
Advanced tool pack designs also help absorb variation in ram motion, keeping dies centered and reducing stress on both tooling and the can body. Strategic coolant distribution further stabilizes temperatures, protecting dimensional accuracy and extending tool life.
