From Coil to Cup: How CMbE Redefines High-Speed Cupping

From Coil to Cup

In the world of canmaking, speed and precision aren’t just nice to have — they’re everything. And when it comes to the crucial first step in can production, no one raises the bar like CarnaudMetalbox Engineering (CMbE).

Introducing the CMbE Cupping System: a high-performance solution engineered to transform coiled metal into precision-formed cups at remarkable speeds.

High-Speed, High-Performance

Operating at speeds of up to 300 strokes per minute (spm), CMbE’s cupping system is built for manufacturers who demand volume without sacrificing quality. Every motion is optimised to deliver maximum output, minimal downtime, and uncompromising consistency.

Smart Press Design

At the heart of the Press lies an under-driven power transmission — a robust, intelligently engineered mechanism that ensures smoother operation and enhanced control. It’s dynamically counterbalanced to reduce vibration and prolong machine life, even under continuous high-speed operation.

Precision Meets Flexibility

The CMbE Cupping System is as flexible as it is powerful. With adjustable shut heights and magnetic clamping for the inner slide, tool changes and maintenance are quicker, safer, and more efficient. And thanks to the 3-inch outer slide stroke, operators benefit from greater accessibility during servicing.

Big Coil, Big Advantage

Able to feed up to a 74-inch wide coil, the system can maximise output, enhancing uptime and production efficiency. This feature alone can dramatically streamline your manufacturing workflow.

AutoBAR™: Total Control at Your Fingertips

CMbE’s AutoBAR™ technology eliminates the need for manual barring—streamlining the entire process. With full forward and reverse control, one operator has total command over the setup, without compromising precision. It’s built for smoother, faster, and more efficient operation, taking your productivity to the next level.

Advanced Features for Modern Manufacturing

Innovation doesn’t stop at mechanics. With unique electrical features designed for seamless integration and a portable Human-Machine Interface (HMI), the system offers intelligent control at your fingertips.

Safety and Compliance

Of course, speed means nothing without safety. That’s why the CMbE Cupping System is fully CE approved, meeting the highest standards of safety and reliability for operations worldwide.

 

 

Conclusion: Engineered for the Future

From coil to cup, the CMbE Cupping System is more than a machine — it’s a finely tuned ecosystem of performance, safety, and innovation. Whether you’re producing millions of cans a week or looking to scale your operations, this system is designed to grow with you.

Because in canmaking, the first step is everything. And with CMbE, that first step is extraordinary.
