ABSTRACT:
Both a method and an apparatus for the reduction of the load magnitudes present during the operation of a can body maker apparatus are provided through the use of a counterbalance mass structure system. A counterbalance structure is operatively associated with the crankshaft which motivates the can body maker ram assembly so that as the ram assembly is reciprocated along a straight line path during the formation of can bodies, the counterbalance structure is reciprocated to compensate for both the straight line (X axis) motion of the ram assembly as well as motion perpendicular thereto.
