ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is described for positioning a can body in the form of a longitudinal seam welded cylinder which is provided with a tongue or the like projection at a predetermined point of its outer circuference, and which is to be further processed, for example shaped. The can body is received in a device in a spatially fixed manner and is rotated about its longitudinal axis. The rotational movement is stopped by a stop (48) or like sensor or obstacle in the path of the tongue, the position of the stop being so selected that the longitudinal seam of the body is then in a precisely defined position. The seam is thus detected in a simple manner by means of a tongue. It is thereby possible to ensure that when a circular cylindrical can body is, for example, further shaped into a parallelepiped body, the longitudinal seam is precisely in the middle of a narrow side of the parallelepiped body.
