Zusammenfassung:	A can bodymaker for producing can bodies from cups. The can bodymaker comprises a ram configured to reciprocate along an axis, a punch mounted on the ram; a tool pack comprising a cradle and a plurality of tools located in the cradle for drawing and ironing a cup mounted on the punch during a forward stroke of the ram. The can bodymaker further comprises a bolster plate fixed to the can bodymaker, an adapter plate fixed to the bolster plate and a stripper assembly fixed to the adapter plate for removing a can body from the punch during a return stroke of the ram and clamping mechanism for biasing the tools against a front face of the adapter plate. The can bodymaker further comprises one or more load cells located in or on the adapter plate and configured to generate an output signal or signals indicative of an axial force exerted on the tools by the cup passing therethrough. Una fabricadora de cuerpos de latas para producir cuerpos de latas a partir de copas. La fabricadora de cuerpos de latas comprende un ariete configurado para moverse alternativamente a lo largo de un eje, un punzón montado en el ariete; un juego de herramientas que comprende una cuna y una pluralidad de herramientas ubicadas en la cuna para estirar y planchar una copa montada en el punzón durante una carrera de avance del ariete. La fabricadora de cuerpos de latas comprende además una placa de soporte fijada a la fabricadora de cuerpos de latas, una placa adaptadora fijada a la placa de soporte y un conjunto de extractor fijado a la placa adaptadora para retirar un cuerpo de lata del punzón durante una carrera de retorno del ariete y un mecanismo de sujeción para presionar las herramientas contra una cara frontal de la placa adaptadora. La fabricadora de cuerpos de latas comprende además una o más celdas de carga ubicadas en o sobre la placa adaptadora y configuradas para generar una señal o señales de salida indicativas de una fuerza axial ejercida sobre las herramientas por la copa que pasa a través de las mismas.
