摘要:
A system for trimming a can body (12) wherein a can body (12) is positioned within a cutting member (26) so that the cutting member (26) is at the location where the can body (12) is to be trimmed. A resilient, deformable object (30) is inserted into the can body (12) and positioned therein so that at least a portion thereof is located radially opposite portions of the can body (12) on each side of the cutting member. The resilient, deformable object is deformed so as to move the portion of the can body located between the cutting member and the open end of the can body in a radially outward direction so as to sever that portion (46) from the can body.
