Our Approach:

We understood that solving this problem would require an entirely new approach. Working closely with our design team and mechanics, we developed an innovative cap gripping system that restores the original shape of the caps during placement, allowing seamless application onto cans. This solution consisted of a cap elevator, cap sorter, and a Pick & Place applicator.

Research and Testing:

We began the project by testing samples of caps supplied by the client on conventional indexing and rotary applicators. Although our machines usually handle slightly deformed caps without issue, in this case, the deformation was so significant that we decided to design a completely new device.
During the R&D process, we conducted thorough testing of various grippers and shaping solutions to ensure the machine could work with different types of caps. The final solution we selected proved to be the most effective in delivering high efficiency and reliability when handling various cap formats.

Key Technological Solutions in This Line:

• Innovative cap gripping and reshaping system: The device restores the proper shape of the caps during placement, enabling operation even with deformed components.
• Precise cap sorter and elevator: Ensures accurate positioning of caps, which is critical for smooth application.
• Automatic Pick & Place applicator: Adapted for caps of different sizes and shapes, capable of placing up to 50 units per minute.

Workplace Safety:

Due to the advanced automation of the process, the system is equipped with numerous sensors that monitor key operating parameters, increasing operator safety and minimizing the risk of malfunctions. The machine complies with all safety standards, including CE marking requirements.
