020  Undersquare canbodies are jaming before / in the tooling!

Possible cause:

- Check the cutting tolerances and blank squareness. => see here.
- Adjust the rollformer (roller shaft clearance and spring pressure) according to
   the manual.
- Control if there is a high difference in the tin plate hardness, by rollforming
   10 canbodies without welding. Put them on the floor in line and compare the
   difference in the rollforming overlap.
- Check if the destacking process is going well. Make sure the tin plate is guided
   tight, and the separating air is positioned well.
- Control the timing of the tin plate transport in between two transport fingers.
- Make sure that the guidance channel is properly adjusted. The intersection to the
   precalibration of the calibration crown is most important.
- Check the position of each (inside and outside!) transport finger compared
   to rollformed canbody.
- Check the offset of each finger pair itself. Move the canbody slowly forward
   (X1 and X6 by slow mode function) and observe eventual shaking
   of the canbody until the welding point.
- If a third finger exists: The third finger must be 0.5 mm behind the upper main
   pusher fingers!
- Reset the calibration crown completely. Make sure that each precalibration roller
   is turning easily! If needed lubricate their shafts slightly and clean the roller
   afterwards. Make sure that these rollers are as close as possible to each other!
- Measure the speed of the flat belt in the calibration crown:
   The speed must be absolutely identical with the copper wire speed!
- Measure the overtravel: Short can heights shall have 1 mm overtravel.
- The center of the diabolo roller (equal to the center of calibration crown) shall
   be 1-2 mm before the welding center.
