A welding installation with a calibration tool is provided in a device for producing container shells. The force exerted by the container shells on the calibration tool is measured and evaluated as information for the overlapping width of the respective container shell. This allows adjusting the calibration tool during configuration of the device and allows the removal of container shells welded with too large or too small overlapping during production of container shells.

A device for interruption-free coating of can bodies with a coating liquid comprises an inlet container for providing the coating liquid to be applied, a pressurized air source for supplying pressurized air, an application nozzle for spraying the coating liquid with an application pressure onto the container body. An intermediary container is provided, which is connected on the inlet side to the inlet container by means of the inlet pipe and which is connected on the outlet side to the application nozzle by means of an outlet pipe.

A tear-off lid with a curled edge of the removal opening is formed such that before the edge is curled, a plastics layer provided as a band of low thickness and preferably only 0.1 mm thickness is applied to the collar of the lid ring. In this way, a good seal of the cut edge of the tear-off lid is produced economically and with the possibility for production at a high rate.

In a destacking device comprising a stacking magazine (), the respective lowest sheet of a stack () of metal sheets is destacked by way of a suction element (). This element can be moved upward and downward by way of a drive (). At the end of the upward movement, the respective lowest metal sheet () of the stack () is gripped by suction power and pulled from the stack. A second suction element () is provided, which can be moved upward and downward by way of a drive (') and by way of which the lowest sheet () of the stack () can be gripped at the end of the upward movement. The second suction element is driven so as to be leading with respect to the first suction element, so that the respective lowest sheet () of the stack () can first be pulled from the stack by the second suction element (&#x2032;), and subsequently by the first suction element (). In this way, it becomes possible to destack thin sheets having a thickness of only 0.12 mm and a square shape without disruption. The stack is held magnetically in the stacking magazine, which facilitates destacking.

A magnetic lifting device for bodies (Z) comprises an input transport device () for transporting lying bodies (), a transport device () for transporting lifted bodies () hanging at the transport device () and arranged above the input transport device () and a control device (). A first magnet arrangement () which is activated and deactivated by the control device () is arranged below the input transport device () in such a way that a body () lying on the input transport device () is magnetically held in a releasable way on the input transport device (). A second magnet arrangement () is arranged above an area of the input transport device (), in which the bodies are transported, and is formed in such a way that a body lying on the input transport device () is lifted by the magnetic field of the second magnet arrangement () when the magnetic field of the first magnet arrangement () is deactivated. A third magnet arrangement () is provided above the transport device () and is formed and arranged in such a way that a partially lifted body () is lifted more and is lifted off the input transport device () and is transported in an upright position hanging magnetically at the transport device (). The control device () is adapted to activate the first magnet arrangement () when a front edge of a body () lying on the input transport device () has passed the second magnet arrangement () and to deactivate the first magnet arrangement () when a trailing edge of this body () comes to lie below the second magnet arrangement ().

In the area of manufacturing covers with tear-open foils, the cover blanks, or covers are always secured against an undesired take-off from the transport means during the transport and the processing. This allows a very high manufacturing cadence equally for light covers and particularly for aluminium covers.

In a welding apparatus for the longitudinal seam welding of can bodies (') by way of electrode rollers (), three drive stages (), by means of which the wire electrode () is driven in addition to the drive by the electrode rollers (), are provided in the wire course. Preferably, elastic stretching is brought about in this case by the three drive stages ().

A process for the manufacture of a solid gas and vacuum tight join between components of different physical properties using a joining element comprising a memory alloy whose memory effect gives rise to the necessary contraction or dilatation stress, in particular for the connection of a hollow body of ceramic material to a metallic object. Joins comprising a memory alloy joining element result from such process having a groove and steps and at least one further metallic or non-metallic component, in particular a hollow body.
