Changeovers don’t need to eat into production time.

With RevolveTWIST, developed with Canline, can-size changeovers happen in seconds; no change parts, no wasted time. One simple rotation adjusts for multiple diameters (202 Slim, 204 Sleek, 211 Standard), keeping your line running and operators focused on throughput.

Installation is simple. Only 550 mm (about 21.5"") of straight track, and the adjustment is done with a single rotation.

A skilled tool room manager is a valuable asset for any can plant, but they also need the right tools to perform their job efficiently. In the tool room, an accurate and repeatable tool measurement gauge is essential to ensure that the Bodymaker and Necker tools are performing at their peak. The IPS ToolSCAN 2.0™ was designed specifically for can makers and is purpose-built to measure these tools accurately.

With the ToolSCAN 2.0™, tool room operators can measure critical tool dimensions quickly and easily, allowing them to make any necessary adjustments and keep production running smoothly.

What happens between cupper and palletizer?
• Cupper → forms the cup
• Bodymaker → shapes the body
• Trimmer → sets height
• Washer/Dryer → cleans and preps
• Decorator + Pin Oven → prints and cures
• IC Spray + Inside Bake → coats and cures interior
• Necker → forms the top profile
• Palletizer → stacks finished cans
A quick CanSCHOOL walkthrough of the full production flow.

Bottom Rim Coatings (BRC) directly influence how efficiently cans move through conveying and filling systems. By controlling friction at the base, BRC helps stabilize can flow, reduce jams, and maintain consistent line speeds.

But performance isn’t just about applying coating, it’s about measuring it.
With the Altek Mobility Tester, can makers can quantify coating performance at the rim, ensuring the right balance of friction, durability, and mobility. This enables better process control, faster troubleshooting, and more consistent conveying performance across production lines.

The Altek Mobility Tester also measures the coefficient of friction on coated can bodies, body blanks, and flat samples; making it a versatile tool for evaluating coating performance across the line.

Older cross hatch machines don’t track every cross hatch, leaving operators guessing and risking over or under cross hatching.

The X2 PRO™ eliminates that risk. (Also available as a retrofit to existing IPS X2™)
It automatically logs every cross hatch, connects directly with ToolCONTROL™ or other databases, and gives operators a 10” HMI for clear control. With a quieter design, trusted Allen-Bradley components, and a peristaltic l**e pump, the X2 PRO™ delivers the traceability and reliability today’s can plants demand.

In a bodymaker, alignment is everything.
The punch, redraw die, and ironing dies must remain concentric to control how aluminum flows through the draw and iron process. Even slight misalignment introduces uneven forces; leading to defects like pleats, fractured domes, cracked flanges, along with excessive tooling wear.

The cradle is what holds the system together, providing the structural foundation that maintains alignment across the die pack and forming components. With the ram position fixed, overall alignment depends on how precisely the cradle and its supporting components are set relative to that axis. This includes the redraw sleeve, cup locator, stripper assembly, and domer.

Cup conveying systems are responsible for transferring thousands of cups per minute to the bodymaker without damage, misalignment, or interruption. These lightweight cups must be handled carefully while maintaining precise spacing and flow.
Depending on the line design, conveying systems use gravity, air, or vacuum-assisted transport to move cups efficiently through the process. Done right, this ensures a smooth transition into redraw and ironing, where the final can body is formed.

In HACCP-based systems, Critical Control Points rely on accurate measurement to ensure product safety and quality.

When instruments drift out of tolerance, it can compromise performance, trigger audit findings, and impact your ability to ship product.

With unannounced audits (now standard under SQF, BRCGS, and FSSC 22000) there’s no opportunity to correct calibration gaps in the moment.

IPS provides professional calibration services for critical measurement devices; delivering traceability, documentation, and confidence in your compliance.

Stay audit‑ready with IPS.
