Bodymakers transform metal cups into tall, thin cans using the draw and iron process:
- ππ«ππ°π’π§π : Shapes the metal without thinning it significantly.
- ππ«π¨π§π’π§π : Thins and stretches the walls for the final can shape.
The cup, pre-shaped in the cupper, is reshaped by the π«πππ«ππ° ππ’π in the bodymaker. The redraw sleeve prevents wrinkling by applying clamping pressure.
As the cup moves forward:
- It passes through progressively smaller ironing dies.
- These dies thin the walls and elongate the can.
- Proper pressure ensures the can's walls are neither torn nor too short.
