Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing or machining a work piece in the form of a cylindrical hollow body, especially a container (an outer wall of a container), a barrel or a cask. According to the inventive method, the work piece is held so that the longitudinal axis thereof is oriented vertically and is then machined, especially formed, edged and provided with beads, a bottom and a lid. The method is characterised in that the work piece is moved at the transfer level and is lowered into a working area of a machining device, especially a shaping machine, for machining. The machining device is arranged underneath the transfer level.

Abstract: A rolling machine for processing a metal container which has a longitudinal seam and is made from a flat metal plate to form a cylindrical body having adjacent or overlapping butt edges securely joined to one another by folding or welding, whereupon a disk-shaped lower bottom and, optionally, a respective upper bottom, is welded or folded to the cylindrical body to form a closed container, or an open-topped container, respectively, is configured as a continuous rolling machine and includes an upper carrier frame; an upper rolling drum rotatably supported in the upper carrier frame; a lower drum stand; and a driven lower rolling drum rotatably mounted in the lower drum stand.

Abstract: In the method of testing a folded-seam connection (2) of a receptacle (1), a sectional image through the folded-seam connection (2) is generated in at least a partial segment (3) of the folded-seam connection (2) by way of an X-ray computer tomographer. The device for executing this method has at least one computer-tomography device (CT device) that has at least one X-ray source (10) and one X-ray detector (11). A holding device (30) holds the receptacle (1) with the folded-seam connection (2) such that at least a partial segment (3) of the folded-seam connection (2) is located in the beam path (S) between the X-ray source (10) and the X-ray detector (11).
