The linear and the rotary movements, and the complete capping process can be completely decoupled from carousel movement, thus guaranteeing constant process quality.
LinMot linear rotary motors, distributed in Italy by Pamoco, can realize any arbitrarily combined linear and rotational movements. Motion profiles, linear or rotary speeds, press forces or tightening torques can be controlled completely independent from each other.
In addition, the cap position can be monitored at the end of capping procedure in order to detect caps that did not reach their final position or slanted sitting caps. For this reason, linear-rotary motors are used in flexible cappers where the capping process is fully programmable. L
inMot linear-rotary motors, combined with the drives C1100 and C1200 series, can be easily be implemented in multi-head carousel. Only motor, logic supply and communication bus have to be supplied through slip rings on the carousel, to be wired to the individual multi head modules.
As the motor cables are mounted fix, no moving cables or cable tracks are needed on the carousel, resulting in long live and long service intervals.
The linear and the rotary movements and therefore the complete capping process can be completely decoupled from carousel movement.
This guarantees a constant process quality also at different speeds or startup and shutdown of a machine. With strokes up to 300mm it is now also possible to use LinMot’s linear rotary motors in cappers for voluminous bottles or aerosols with pump or spray closure in which the long suction tube is inserted vertically together with the cap.
