Continuous Motion Cap Closing Machines

The continuous motion cap closing machine is a self-contained unit equipped with a closure feeder bowl and inline track. Its continuously rotating dial transfers closures through closing and inspection processes. Closures, including those for flip top cap closing machines, are held securely by cam-driven forks. These forks retract while an outer cam rail positions the spindle to snap the lid closed. The cam section, mounted on a pneumatic slide with an adjustable regulator, ensures precise force during the closing process.If the “open closure” or “missing lid” detection is activated post-closing, the closure is designated as a reject and removed. A fixed cam diverts completed assemblies to an eject chute, while an air blow-off removes rejected closures. This process is integral to the functionality of our plastic cap closing machines.

Standard features:

• A feeder bowl to load closures.
• In line track to feed closures to the continuous motion dial.
• Continuous motion dial with upper, lower and horizontal cam controlled tooling to close closure.
• The lower dial tooling is equipped with cam driven spindles with tooling.
• An outer cam will allow each spindle to move up and pivot the lids over the closure.
• The upper tooling dial is equipped with cam driven spindles with tooling.
• Good parts eject track and reject station.
• Two position box diverter.
• Shift register tracking system will monitor good and bad parts through the system.
• Touch screen type operator control panel with message display to indicate functionality and spindle monitoring.
• Mechanical and Electrical operating manuals.

Each station is mounted on identical station plates for added flexibility, and is constructed with tooling mounted to a ground steel top plate supported by a fabricated steel base. Mechanical, pneumatic and electrical equipment are group mounted on the base. Electrical controls are mounted in NEMA 12 style enclosures and all tooling will be hardened and ground. Machine components can be anodized, plated, or painted as necessary. Pinch points and rotating sections will be guarded to prevent operator injury. Perimeter guarding is electrically interlocked and fabricated with clear polycarbonate panels and extruded aluminum.
