`
`ABSTRACT:
`
`A stripper assembly for a can bodymaker is configured to remove a can body from a punch
`
`mounted on a ram of the can bodymaker. The stripper assembly comprises a stripper housing
`
`defining an internal bore through which the punch passes and a radial offset monitor. The radial
`
`offset monitor comprises one or more eddy current sensors located within the stripper housing or
`
`attached thereto. The radial offset monitor is configured to detect misalignment of a ram and/or
`
`a punch, or a can body held on the punch, within the bore. A method of detecting axial
`
`misalignment of a ram and/or a punch of a can bodymaker, or of a can body held on the punch is
`
`also described. The method comprises providing a stripper housing defining an internal bore
`
`through which the punch passes, obtaining electrical output signals from one or more eddy
`
`current sensors within the housing or attached thereto, and processing the signal(s) to detect any
`
`axial misalignment.
