SUCCESS is ON THE LINE SEE PRIDE PASSION EVERYTHING WE HAVE GOES INTO CANS. You’ve never seen a Pride can because we’ve never made one. But there’s no mistaking the business we’re in. Because it’s the same business you’re in. Bottom formers, overtravel monitoring systems, floating tool packs and air bearing precision grinders make up our entire product offering. Being able to put everything we have into making these tools all they can be has virtually eliminated downtime for our customers. Because, in the end, our success is measured completely by yours. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER HYBRID BOTTOM FORMER UNIFORMITY UNIFORMITY UNIFORMITY MAKES US UNIQUE. CONTROLLED CLAMPING PRESSURE. REDUCED SPLIT DOMES. As speeds increase and can stocks get thinner, consistent clamping pressure becomes more critical. Pride’s Hybrid Bottom Former utilizes the largest air chamber behind the piston for more consistent force continuing Pride’s lead in bottom former technology for down-gauging material and reducing splits. CONSISTENT DOME DEPTHS. SOFTER DONUT SPRINGS. FOUR CHOICES OF FORCE. Ram linkages stretch as bodymakers speed up. Pride’s long, high-mass springs accommodate changes in overtravel to reduce the pinching that causes split domes. FORCE CONTROL (GREEN). Our lowest force donut spring for smaller diameter cans and thinner materials. LOW SHOCK (RED). Most common for beverage cans. Optimizes dome depth at any speed while reducing shock. RAM CONTROL (YELLOW). This lower force spring engages the punch before the dynamic stretch phase, helping the ram turn and reducing ram whip. HIGH STRENGTH (BLUE). Increases buckle strength for larger beverage cans or is used for food cans to maintain panel depth. Bottom Former Manuals and Service Videos Contact Pride to learn more today! BOTTOM FORMER ANIMATION GUARDIAN II A SMALL PART ON YOUR LINE. A LARGE PART IN YOUR SUCCESS. MORE QUALITY CANS. LESS DOWNTIME. The Guardian II safely and accurately measures bodymaker over travel, a key piece of your process information. Set up and run your bodymaker knowing you’re getting good dome depth even while varying bodymaker speed to match pull from the decorator. Avoid unplanned downtime and optimize your maintenance activities by leveraging the Guardian’s over travel monitoring and data trending. GUARDIAN II MANUAL Contact Pride to learn more today! FLOATING TOOL PACKS REDUCING STRESS ON CANSAND CANMAKERS. UNIQUE DIE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. FEWER TEAROFFS. A precision suspension system absorbs variation in ram position, putting less stress on the can. Precision locating pins return the die exactly to center–not past center. The closer the die is to center, the fewer tear offs you will experience. THE CAN IS NOT A TOOL. Fixed tool packs use the carbide die ring and the delicate can itself to force the punch back to center. This stresses and wears the dies, but more alarmingly, puts incredible pressure on the can body. Stress you can really see in white streaks on steel cans where the tin ”re‐melts”. Pride’s vibration dampening floating tool packs use a confined suspension system that never pushes the die past center, and returns it to within 0.001” of perfect center before the next ram advance – design that delivers the best top wall concentricity with fewer tear offs. Other floating tool packs, such as o‐ring and quad‐ ring systems can’t center the die, and suffer from the same limitations of fixed tool packs resulting in increased die wear and poor can quality. NEW PIN DESIGN. LONGER PIN LIFE. Increased die contact area and extra hard pins help rings turn more easily and without outer diameter notching. STRATEGIC OPENINGS. SMARTER COOLING. Most tool packs have single-spot cooling. Pride’s tactical openings throughout the tool pack increase can wall integrity and die life. RESPECTED CANS ARE STRONGER CANS. To reduce tearoffs can must be remove from the vibration equation and cooled more evenly and quickly. Floating Tool Pack Manuals and Service Videos Contact Pride to learn more today! FLOATING TOOL PACK ANIMATION AIR BEARING DIE GRINDER 30A INNOVATION ONE 1,000,000TH OF AN INCH AT A TIME. TIGHTER TOLERANCES. HIGHER QUALITY FINISHES. BETTER TOOLING PERFORMANCE. Three simple step operation with precision accuracy. Absolute scales always know where they are without referencing. Closed loop feedback means no accumulated errors between scales and control. Four inches of solid granite secures both spindles. Air suspension eliminates low-frequency vibration disturbance. Planetary roller bearings guide the digital linear actuator for oscillation of CNC contouring. FRAMELESS TORQUE MOTOR. NO GEARS, JOINTS OR CHAINS. SMOOTH AND ACCURATE. When work and wheel head spindles are mounted together on a floating granite surface, true roundness is realized. True roundness is how you make better cans and more of them while extending the life of each die. With new, tougher air bearings you can feed as aggressively as with mechanical grinders while greatly surpassing the tolerances and surface finishes they can achieve. PRECISION IS IN THE AIR. Air makes grinding ironing dies, redraw dies, pilot dies, redraw sleeves and trimmer blades even better with an extra long air bearing that allows you to feed as aggressively as mechanical grinders. Rotary accurate to .00008” roundness delivering a 2μ in surface finish. EASY TO USE SO CANS ARE EASIER TO MAKE. The Air Bearing Precision Grinder runs on Windows™ and comes set up and ready to go. The grinder then moves automatically to the correct positions and the open architecture enables new programs to be added easily. PRESS START INSTEAD OF TOUCH OFF. Pride Touch® eliminates the need for touch off. Just press the Cycle Start button and the grinder will find Z zero and start automatically.

The Pride CNC Punch Grinder 40A is specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands and exacting requirements of punches used in two-piece can body making. Because there is no compromise involved when trying to regrind punches and dies on the same machine, this dedicated package, combined with Pride’s extensive punch grinding experience, make it the ideal choice for can making plants located in areas where punch regrinding services are not readily available — helping you reduce downtime, improve throughput and respond quickly to changing demands. LARGER GRINDING WHEEL MEANS FEWER WHEEL DRESSINGS. The 355mm diameter grinding wheel has the abrasive characteristics to produce the critical surface finishes you need. The increaed surface area reduces the need for frequent wheel dressings, providing super-long life and consistency at any grinding pressure to keep on working—long after smaller grinding wheels have dulled. LEANER, MEANER AND EASIER TO USE. The new operator interface requires no programming and provides a simple efficient way to input dimensions from the punch print and perform the machining cycle. The compact design and small footprint save up to 40% more space making it the ideal fit for most crowded can plant environments. Contact Pride to learn more today!
