MAIN DEVICES

2.1.1.1 Cap infeed channel
(see figures 2.1.1.1/A and 2.1.1.1/B)
The caps are directed into the machine by the infeed channel (1) secured to the base. A section of the channel can
be inspected by opening the door (2) with the knob (3). Two adjustable air blowers (18 and 19) are mounted on the
door to feed the caps and prevent jamming. A fiber optic photocell (6) is mounted on the infeed channel. The purpose
of this device is to detect when the level of caps in the channel reaches minimum. The pneumatic cylinder (4) controls
the cap flow and stops the caps, when required, by applying pressure. This happens when the fiber optic photocell
(6) located at the entrance of the cap infeed channel is free (no caps present) or when
the photocell located in the exit channel is activated (channel full of caps). The pressure applied by the caps is strictly
related to the pressure of the air that supplies the cylinder.
