Abstract
The can body to be welded in a welding station is shaped by gradually bending flat metal sheets zone by zone along a linear conveying route until the can body has been shaped. This linear conveying route at the same time leads to the welding station. In this manner can bodies can be produced and welded at a fast rate.
