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.

After exiting the press, shells are spun through precision curler segments that progressively form the shell edge into a full curl without damaging the material.
That curl is what enables a secure, reliable seam to the can body.

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.

Sharp, multi-color can graphics depend on proper registration.
In a decorator, colors are printed one at a time, and registration is the precise alignment of each color layer by adjusting the blanket cylinders in multiple directions.

Poor registration can cause blurred graphics, double images, or visible defects, making routine checks and fine adjustments essential for maintaining print quality.

Can Defects 101: A Wrinkled Cup
A simple look at the key causes to watch:
• Insufficient draw pad hold-down pressure (material not properly controlled)
• Early draw pad lift-off timing (loss of control during forming)
• Inadequate lubrication
• Tooling mismatch / incorrect gap
Dial these in to protect cup quality from the start!

No matter how skilled the operator, manual sorting isn’t foolproof; and when a defective can slips through, the call comes to you.
RapidSORT INSPECT™ handles the repetitive sorting so operators can concentrate on higher‑value work.
With camera‑based inspection, automated rejection, uniform lighting, and real‑time feedback, it delivers consistent results. Fully integrated by IPS with the camera OEM of your choice.

In a can plant, tool performance is process performance. When tool data lives in silos, issues stay hidden until they become downtime or scrap.
ToolCONTROL™ consolidates critical tooling, quality, and production data into one connected system.
By connecting tool behavior to production and quality performance as it happens, ToolCONTROL gives teams early visibility into patterns, without adding complexity for operators. Designed by can makers, for can makers.
Data intelligence is becoming a competitive advantage in modern can making. Let’s make sure you’re not falling behind. Reach out at [email protected] to learn more.
