Abstract
Two destacking tables and two can body forming stations are provided, the latter forming cylindrical can bodies from the metal sheets stacked on the destacking table. These can bodies are subsequently conveyed along the feed axis to the welding station, which welds the longitudinal seam of the can bodies. The provision of two destacking tables and two can body forming stations enables these elements to operate at the cycle rate of the welding station. This permits welding to be effected with an increased cycle rate, with reliable feeding of the can bodies despite this.
