Embossing
  
Registered embossing-debossing of aerosol
cans provides important product differentiation
for premium brands. The process is suitable 
for either steel or aluminium cans in standard 
wall thickness

-  Cans are placed on a horizontal shuttle
   and fed over an inner mandrel.
-  Once in position the can is spun circum-
   ferentially by the servo assembly for
   proper pattern orientation and then em-  
   bossed by the engagement of the match-
   ing inner spreading cylinder and the outer
   tool roll.
-  The very precise embossing process is
   accomplished through a timed sequence
   of machine cams, servos and air/vacuum
   systems.
-  Mounted to each motor assembly are
   miniature light sensor heads. The light
   sensor searches the rotating can surface
   for a printed registration mark.
-  Embossing will be  possible in a area of
   up to 350°.
-  Maximum embossing depth is approxi-
   mately 0.3 mm.
