in-linerotaryelectric

Overview
Capping machine with brushless motors controlling vertical and rotary spindles. The cam for vertical spindle movement can be driven by turret angular position or by time; in time mode the closure cycle can be replicated independently from turret speed, ensuring consistent inertia control.
