Automatic Bottle Cap Screwing Line
The line is designed for automatic feeding, orientation, screwing of caps onto bottles, and quality control of closure. The system ensures high productivity through synchronized operation of all units without stopping the conveyor.
1. Conveyor System
• Conveyor Type: Belt conveyor equipped with guides for stable bottle movement.
• Speed: Adjustable (up to 50 bottles per minute).
• Detection Sensors:
• Optical sensors detect the presence of bottles on the line.
• The system synchronizes the manipulator’s operation with the bottle movement.
• Materials: Stainless steel resistant to wear and chemical exposure.
2. Cap Feeding and Orientation Module
Vibratory Bowl Feeder:
• Automatically orients caps into the correct position.
• Capacity is designed for extended operation without frequent refilling.
Transport System:
• Delivers caps to the gripper via an inclined chute.
• Compatible with caps of various shapes and sizes (adjustable guides).
3. Manipulator with Gripper
• Construction: Robotic manipulator
Gripper:
• A specialized gripping mechanism with adjustable force for precise handling of caps.
• Ensures the cap is picked, transported, and screwed onto the bottle
Operating Principle:
• The manipulator tracks bottle movement on the conveyor.
• Screws caps without stopping the conveyor (synchronized motion).
4. Quality Control System
Key Functions:
• Verifies the closure’s tightness.
• Detects the presence of caps.
Monitors screwing torque to prevent bottle damage.
Control Methods:
• Torque sensors integrated into the gripper.
