Introduction
Two Decades Can Man
Two decades? Is it a long or a short time? Since Albert Einstein we all know there is no absolute time. Every part has its special measure of time; we understand space and time as a dynamic parameter and this parameter opens a window into the past and with its perception we may create the future. With this view from back in time to a possible future, we‘d like to invite you to experience on the following pages. Let‘s start with the motive and requirement of the metal packaging in general and the beginning of our pro-fession in particular. For persons with little experience in 3 - piece canmaking, we wrote a short essay about canbody welding.
Demographically 20 years is equivalent with one generation. Looking at Can Man, those 20 years have left clear marks: Enthusiastic start-up entrepreneurs have become matured «can-men», classic welders have become smart, high performance Weld Centers. Many things have changed, but one thing hasn‘t: The claim to achieve real customer values through superior technology, highest quality and relyable service. This is what we belie-ve in and what we are daily working for. With this brochure in your hands we‘d like to transport some knowledge, but also some pleasure, and this is what we wish for all of us on our 20th anniversary.

A Milestone of Civilization
Primitive men lived from hand to mouth as a hunter-gatherer, which is why the discovery and the systematic utilisation of various conservation methods represented a milestone for civilisation. Conservation freed a part of humanity from the primary task of food acquisition and thereby created the conditions for the division of work. The independence of the consumer was created with the spatial and temporal increase in the distance between the harvest and the consumption.
The foundation for the preservation of food was laid at the beginning of the 19th centu-ry by the Frenchman Nicolas Appert, a cook who was well versed in the area of natural sciences, and who succeeded in making heated food preservable through the exclusion of air after many years of trials. At the same time, in a paper published in 1810, Peter Durand referred to the excellent conservation properties of a tin box made from tinplate that can be boiled and is sealed to be airtight. In a steel sheet coated with a layer of zinc, the “father” of the can thereby found a packaging material that offered the foundation for the development of an epo-chal conservation and packaging technology.

Metal Packaging
Strong Advantages for strong Products
The best possible protection of products is the formula for successful packaging solu-tions. Metal as a packaging material offers decisive advantages, because no other mate-rial can guarantee this protection.
Heat, humidity and light have no chance in metal containers and enclosures, which provi-de a one hundred percent barrier against dirt, parasites and bacteria. Food, for example, can profit from this, because sensitive vitamins and nutrients remain at their best quality just as long as the other contents. Paints and lacquers also obtain clear benefits from the metal packaging: the pigments do not fade, and solvents do not harden out.
Metal packagings are strong in the truest meaning of the word, because they are unbreakable, impact-resistant and safe during transport and stor-age, as well as in use. These are essential properties, in particular for hazardous materials, because the environ-ment and the product are both protected from any possible interactions, even under the most difficult conditions.
Metal packagings are also convincing with regard to handling and cost efficiency: they make it possible to fill and seal products at high speed. Steel packagings permit the use of magnetic conveyor belts, and thereby also accelerate processes. Distribution and logistics can be made more efficient. Metal packagings are robust and stackable, and thereby require hardly any repackaging and leave more space for what is important – the product.

The Can made from Tin Sheet
The production of tin cans is now fully automated, and basically takes place in two working processes: the manufacture of the can bodies and the production of the lid and the base. The production of the lid and base parts takes place on automatic presses with single or multiple tools. In doing this, the sheet metal rounds are provided with the necessary beads. Three diffe-rent types of closures are basically used for metal tins:
a) The seamed lid or seamed base is sealed by machine beading (folding) with the can body. The containers can thereby no longer be sealed again once the lid has been removed. This form of packaging is well known as preserving cans for fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and delicatessen products.
b) The slip-on lid is an overlapping lid without a fixed connection to the can body. The container can be opened and closed as often as you like, and is used for solid, pasty and powder contents, such as shoe polish, floor wax, skin cream, biscuits, etc. c) The press-on lid also has no fixed connection to the lower part of the packaging, and is pressed into the opening. A clamping ring is used to secure the lid. This kind of closure is often encountered in cans or buckets for jams, baking ingredients, mustard, spices, pharmaceuticals, technical lubricants etc.
d) In order to provide a firmer attachment for the press-on lid, for example in cans used in the paint and lacquer industry, a ring shaped into a collar is provided on the top of the can body.

Can Body
The initial materials are strip or sheet metal, which is cut to size with semi- or fully auto-matic slitters to ensure the optimal utilisati-on of the sheet metal surface. Metal sheets can be printed by special metal printing presses or can be labelled by paper lable after the filling operation. The second station consists of the actual «bodymaker». The sheet metal, also called blank, is rounded to form a cylinder on this machine and is processed to form the so-called «can body» with a longitudinal seam.
Up to the middle of the 50s of the 20th century, automatic soldering machines or, for larger quantities, folding machines were used for the production of the lon-gitudinal seam. Here, the sheet metal was rounded using a folding mandrel and was folded at the same time. As this technique did not provide a reliable sealed seam, molten solder had to be filled into the fold using a soldering station. The welding of the longitudinal seam was already used for the manufacture of black tin cans during the Second World War. The resistance wel-
ding machines developed at that time allo-wed an output of around 50 can bodies a minute. The solution, invented by a Swiss canmaker, using a copper wire to keep the electrodes free from low melting tin, changed the production of 3-piece cans radically.The next working step is to apply a protec-tive layer onto the welded seam of the can body, in accordance with the food regulati-ons, which is then cured in a stream of hot air or by induction.
At the last station, the two edges of the can body are then beaded as a precondi-tion for the fitting of the lid and the base. In order to reinforce the can body, beads (grooves) are formed into the sheet metal as stiffeners in many cases, above all in the case of large cans. As the last working step, the base is seamed onto the beaded can body. After testing, the cans are prepared for filling, closure and for any pasteurisati-on (sterilization) and labelling.

In the hierarchy of manufacturing processes, connection welding is included in the main group of joining techniques, with soldering and gluing. This trio thereby form the classi-fication «material bonding techniques».
In this demarcation of the insoluble connections, welding is the most important pro-cedure. Other systematic sub-divisions are made according to the diversity of the base material, the application of the component or the production method. The processes of the fusion and pressure welding sub-groups will be briefly discussed in the following.

Bonding Techniques
Fusion and Compression
Fusion welding is the joining of similar materials under the influence of heat in a loca-lized area, the welding zone, in the molten state with or without filler, but always wit-hout the application of pressure. The filler is added in the form of rods or wires of similar material, and is melted in the welding zone. Seams are drawn with the additional mate-rial, also in several layers, one above the other. In order to generate the required melting temperature in the area of the joint, the welding technique makes use of various heat sources, such as gas flames, electrical arcs, Joulean resistance heating and laser or elect-ron beams. As a result of its high flexibility and good handling, fusion welding still holds an important position in the welding shop.
Compression welding is fundamentally different from the above-mentioned method in that the connection is created with the application of force, whereby localised hea-ting also facilitates the welding process. The required transmission of force takes place mechanically or hydraulically. The compression welding processes that are presented here, in which electric current can be used as a direct energy provider, are all resistance compression welding processes. This should make it clear that the addition of heat will be achieved through the resistance heat in the materials to be bonded. The direct passage of current through the workpiece is the basis of this procedure. Depending on its physical properties and size, the material thereby develops a specific resistance that is larger or smaller, i.e. more or less heat.
Current and force are transmitted to the workpiece by spot-welding electrodes in order to weld it in a point shape after sufficient heating under pressure. Depending on the current carrier, a differentiation is made between single-sided and double-sided spot welding. A single point or two or more points can be simultaneously welded in a single working step. Up to 80 points on a component are possible simultaneously with fixed, multi-spot welding machines. Spot welding tongs are used as mobile machines that are connected to the transformer or rectifier by means of a cable, or in which these compo-nents are integrated into the tongs. The welding tongs can be operated manually or by a robot.
The fields in which this is the preferred method lie throughout the sheet metal and wire processing industry. In addition to body shops, this process can be found in the electrical and household appliance industry, system and lightweight construction and in aircraft production, for example, for the fixation of stiffening ribs on large-surface plates. The application area for steel and aluminium is in the range from 0.5 to 4 mm per sheet, while copper, due to its high conductivity, can only be efficiently joined in thicknesses up to 1 mm.

Resistance Welding
Roller Seam Welding: from the Spot to the Seam
Roller seam welding has been directly derived from resistance spot welding for the pro-duction of rows of points with a low point separation. Instead of pin-shaped electrodes, two roller electrodes are used in this case. With the right coordination between welding speed, frequency and the relationship of the current pulse to the pause time, the indi-vidual points will overlap each other. The rollers contact the workpiece under pressure on a small surface area, so that the current flows through a limited cross-section of the workpiece and a weld point can be created. The roller drive takes place synchronously by motor or by friction from a feed roller. A relative movement thereby arises between the workpiece and the electrode. The roller electrodes are freed from adhering impurities and are re-shaped by flanged-on scrapers and profiling rollers. This can be done either at periodic intervals or continuously during the welding process.
Adhesive, Fixation and Sealing seamsWeldingstation of a modern roller seam welder.
The possibility of programming both the welding speed and the current flow to be uni-form or intermittent leads to the following ways of working:
Welding with a continuous feed motion and constant speed together with constant current makes the highest welding speed possible. In alternating-current welding, each half-wave produces a welding point, and the separation of the points depends on the welding speed and the frequency of the alternating current being used. This principle is preferably used for easily welded materials, and in particular for non-alloy and low-alloy steels up to a sheet thickness of 1.5 mm. Small fluctuations in the sheet thickness or in the surface quality of the work piece or the electrode have a negative effect on the wel-ding quality, however. The tendency to form alloys and the wear of the electrodes due to high thermal loading are also disadvantageous.
When producing mash seams on tinplate containers, the frequency of the alternating current is increased by means of rotating or static converters in order to increase the welding speed. If continuous direct current is used, an almost uniform, continuous weld is produced in contrast to continuous alternating current welding. However, mechanical properties might not be achieved as required due to the missing forging affect alterna-ting current produces.
Welding with continuous feed movements and intermittent current (current-pause pro-gram) reduces the above-mentioned disadvantages, but reduces the welding speed. This variant is used for the welding of aluminised or galvanised plates in which the coating has a tendency to form alloys with the electrode. Both sealing seams and uninterrupted seams can be manufactured, and the welding quality is better than that for continuous current welding.
Roller Seam Welding
Possible applications for roller seam welding
Welding with intermittent movement and pulsed current only permits low welding speeds. This variant is therefore preferably used for materials that are difficult to weld and that are prone to cracking, such as high-alloy steels and aluminium alloys. Sheet thick-ness of more than 1.5 mm can be joined with this process. As the welding takes place with stationary electrodes, the welding seam hardens under the effect of the pressure rollers. Qualities are thereby achieved that are comparable with those of spot welding.
In mash seam welding for the production of thin sheets with thicknesses of less than 1 mm, a very narrow overlap is squashed at the sheet level by the pressure of the electro-de, thereby creating a «quasi» butt weld. This has the advantage that the metal sheets are flush with each other after joining, although it is more difficult to produce than the overlapping seam.
The main characteristic of resistance roller seam welding with an intermediate wire elec-trode is the transmission of current and pressure that takes place through an interme-diate copper wire, and not from the roller electrode to the workpiece. In this way, the electrode surface is continually renewed, resulting in a uniform weld quality and a longer service life for the roller electrodes. As a result of the heavy current concentration that arises from the small width of the contact surface, narrow and low-distortion seams are welded. The copper wire used as an intermediate electrode is extracted from a storage barrel and is returned to a second barrel in a chopped form for recycling after the passa-ge through the process.

Can Man is a family-owned and -managed, medium-sized company, delivering quality and innovation. With passion for the job, Can Man is constantly defining new standards in efficiency and quality of the products and services.
«To identify trends in technology at the right time and transform them in a successful product is the main challenge for our business. Ever, since Can Man was founded, we could proceed our canmaking equipment in a trend-setting and future-oriented way, that generates new opportunities and markets for our customers.»

Ruedi Umbricht, founder of Can Man and his siblings Marianne and Johnny.
Company
The commitment to our workplace starts with a simple question: Why does a lot of the best canmaking equipment come from Switzerland?
Example: In order to keep the cutting tolerance of our slitter PowerCUT™ well under 0,05 mm after a 30 minutes format change, manufacturing tolerances of +/- 0,003 mm are required. Pre-cision and reliability are undisputed «Swiss features». But beside these, the innovative strength of our engineers, the education of the staff assembling, testing and servicing your equipment, ranks among the best in the world.Conclusion: You certainly pay more beforehand for Swiss quality equipment compared to «else-where» made products, but as the machine making history of Switzerland proved – the extra efficiency and the high service standard are worth the investment!

… equals reliability and durability. This «forever true» term describes the philosophy of Can Man and the «soul» of our products best and means, that a simple mechanism or electronical system does not just only „look“ simple, but it bears a number of truly fascinating facts: It is easier to understand and needs therefore less explanation and training. It is also easier to maintain, because it consists of less parts. Less parts means less friction (in the electrics called resistance) and less friction leads to fewer energy consumption and higher lifetime.
Simplicity & Quality
The modular design of our highend products increases the lifetime additionally and keeps the prices for the equipment in a reasonable level over a long periode of time.
In an attempt to enlarge our market share and to bring reasonable prices of wear and spare part prices to our customers, we have always designed our equipment as compatible and normative as possible. With this strategy we make our customers more independent.
Modularity & Flexibility
Technology
User-Friendliness Environmental Issue
User-friendly design has a large influence to the well-being of employees, their performance, the reduction of human errors and many else. Therefore all Can Man products are designed in such a way.
These days we top the ergonomic sliding cover solution of the X-generation welding bodyma-kers by providing a wireless handheld man-machine-interface (MMI) to control not only the welder but all of our line components with one panel.
Considering the cost of raw material to be between 80 - 90% of the can`s total cost urges you to use the thinnest possible tin plate and thinnest copper wire. X-line beverage- and food-can-bodymakers handle tin plates down to 0.10 mm of thickness while running on 1.00 mm copper wire. A good reason for you to calculate your investments not only by the output performance of your line, but to keep also a sharp eye on the operation cost!
Canmakers should also have a closer look to our solutions such as TempGUARD™, PowerWIN-DOW™ and the lately introduced induction curing system PowerCURE™. These developments offer a remarkable energy saving potential which leads to a considerable drop of your running costs!

The lack of spare part supply (and suppliers) and therefore very high priced spare parts for some of the old welders almost forces you to go for a machine replacement and frankly speaking: It‘s not such a bad option. On the other hand we consider ourselves as a true partner and therefore we‘d like to discuss solutions with you before we just trade in your welder. Considering our roots, we‘ve made various efforts to rebuild, overhaul and upgrade all kinds of welders, so we do not agree that a replacement is always the right way. Talk to us and we‘re sure to be able to give you the benefit you were looking for.
Every machine needs service - we support you in every way but a skilled operator is abso-lutly needed. Train your staff in Switzerland, we offer 2 levels of training and education:
Level 1 For operators with basic education level (minimal technical education). Pre-con-dition: Age; as young as possible. No canmaking experience, smart, eager to learn.
Level 2 For line officers and foremen (graduate of technical education). Pre-condition: Age; any. Some canmaking experience is of advantage.

Duplex Slitter
A good 3-piece can starts with the accurate blank cutting. One of Can Man’s motivation to develop a versatile Swiss quality duplex slitter.
www.powercut.canman.ch
Linear Servo DrivesNo friction means no wear, therefore old fashioned mechanical parts have been replaced by maintenance free parts, such as chains by belts or gears by and links by servo drives. That brings along easier adjustment, better performance and greater reliability. It also implements features like profile settings for a range of speed or the integrated overload protection.
AccuracyThe cutter shaft frames are designed as independent units. An optional carriage device can serve for set up and adjustment of cutter shafts as well as for the change over pro-cedures. The cutter shafts are also available as additional set, if you do frequent change overs between two formats. The cutters are equipped with a mechanical cutter clamping system similar to Mawag slitters.
Trim CutterTrim cutters chop the long trim stripes after the first cutting operation. The space saving left overs can be collected in a compact box underneath the slitter and emptied once per day - eliminating the accident-prone removing with a dung fork or space eating conveyor + container solution.

Production output 450/550/650 cpm, 90 m/min
Body sizes min. Ø 45 x h 50 mm
max. Ø 165 x h 320 mm
Sheet thickness 0.10 - 0.26 mm
Format change Ø + height: approx. 30 min
height: approx. 5 min (fully automatic)
www.x1.canman.ch
Pinpoint CoolingCan Man`s TempGUARD™ cooling system cools the welders components when and whe-re it‘s needed which ensures highest weld quality and protects valuable machine parts from oxidation.Especially in the calibration crown, it is essential to keep a constant temperature throug-hout the entire tool as thermal stress affects the overlap.
XPLANE™The welding zone with the z-bar, the calibration crown, the welding rollerheads and the exit conveyor are the most critical areas at a canbody welder. With XPLANE™ you adjust only 1 instead of 4 items after redressing of the welding roll to achieve a constant welding quality, minimal down time and a reduction of human handling errors.
PowerFOIL™The wire diameter reduction from 1.24 or 1.38 mm to 1 mm cuts down your copper costs considerably and positions you ahead of others.

X5
Welding
Large Container Welding Bodymaker
With the automatic welder X5 a machine has entered the mar-ket which can weld exceptional formats, sheet-thicknesses and materials, thanks to a solid frame-construction and a state of the art control.
Production output 60 cpm, 32 m/min
Body sizes min. Ø 180 x h 150 mm
max. Ø 400 x h 700 mm
Sheet thickness 0.24 - 0.60 mm
Format change Ø + height: approx. 15 min
height: approx. 10 min
www.x5.canman.ch
PowerWINDOW™From day 1, Can Man was always researching for energy - optimised designs. The Pow-erWINDOW™, a sandwich-like bus bar-configuration, which is applied in all X-welders, has been continuously optimized, reaching an impressive stage in the X5 welder. Even at maximum welding speed the electrical power consumption is less than half of older welding machine designs.
1 or 2 WiresFor top quality welded seams of thick tinplates for heavy containers, 2 copper wires are needed. Simply select 1 or 2 wires on the touch panel, re-route the wire and you are ready to go. All components for the 2nd wire treatment, such as wire profiling, wire tensioning and wire chopper are an integrated part of the X5 design.
Patented Canbody TransportEssential for a troublefree functioning of the entire canbodymaking process is the paten-ted transport system that grants a fast acceleration out of the rollforming station with a smooth transfer of the container to the welding station without creating even the slightest vibrations. Furthermore is a height change over a matter of seconds, whether manually or fully automated.

Low Speed Welding Bodymaker
Similar to the low speed CM 18, Can Man‘s first automatic wel-der, X8 will find its working field in the general and food can industry where top quality welding at a low output but with fas-test changeover possibilitiy is requested.

QuickChange Plus™As a logical consequence of the Can Man idea for a fully automatic height change, chan-ging the height with the X8 is a matter of seconds as the downstacker can be equipped with this feature. Equipped with an AC Linear Servo drive (patents pending), mechanical components (and wear parts!) are impressively minimized.
SoftwireOur wire drive system does measure the speed of the wire through the tension in the wire loop. Therefore it is not necessary to „finetune“ anything after regrooving. Furthermore the wire can not break due to mishandling! An overlacquering control system, integrated in every Can Man welder, does further protect the wire from breakage.
PACEMAKER™This compact static welding inverter combines up to date digital processor technology for a very «safe and easy to use» operation with a remarkable power boost as side effect. As one of the most innovative Can Man developments is the PACEMAKER™ equipped to all full automatic Can Man welders but can be also used to upgrade other types and brands of welders.

TPO for ORCThe new overhead conveyor can be equipped with an ORC (outside roller lacquering - device). It not only shortens the whole line configuration, but it grants that the can is guided properly and perfectly „lined up“ with the weld seam when it reaches the lacquer application roll.
Easy AccessBy the touch of a button the rollformer can be fully opened and with the integration of a scoring unit in combination with a separator/parting machine the CM16‘s output can be doubled or triplicated.
Set and ForgetUsing the patented QuickCHANGE™ blank magazine, a format change can be acquired in record time and without timerobbing post adjustments.

Curing
www.powercure.canman.ch
PACEMAKER™ HFOur huge experience with static frequency inverters of over 500 installed units helped us to introduce another compact and powerful, top relyable HF-version for our curing solution.The high frequency generator can be setup and maintained by Can Man`s well introduced handy panel which fits all PACEMAKER™ products.
Plug & PlayThe compact induction curing unit needs only electricity as energy source and works practically maintenance free. Compatible with existing line equipment, it is easy to install and operate. Additionally you are creating zero CO
2 and NO
X emissions!
Re-Incarnation of Induction CuringOnly the powdered and lacquered weld seam area is heated up by electromagnetism to cure the coating from «inside out». This physical advantage plus the unique Can Man solution of holding the can near to the coated welded seam, enables a 70% shorter curing track and 80% less energy consumption - compared to common gas curing sys-tems at the same rated electrical load.
