Method and apparatus for transporting can bodies in a processing plant

摘要

In order to increase the processing frequency of can bodies (1) in a processing plant, can bodies (1) are inserted into a desired position in the plant and processed there and subsequently transported away, first of all at increasing speed and then at increased speed at least along a specified section and then at reduced speed. The positioning of the can bodies (1) in a desired position takes place in such a way that at least one sensor (5) is provided in a specified position and emits a specified signal when the can body (1) is positioned in the desired position. After processing has taken place, the can body (1) is accelerated by means of a transport apparatus (13), transported away at increased speed and transferred to a subsequent processing at reduced speed. <IMAGE>
