2.1.1.2 Infeed turn-table
(see figure 2.1.1.2)
The infeed turn-table picks up the caps from the channel and deposits them on the spindles of the work drum.
The feed rods (2) are mounted on the drum body (1).
The incoming caps are held in place against the wheel (3) until they are finally placed in the cavity (4) mounted on the
rod (2).
The caps are placed on the spindles thanks to the rod (2) which follows the movement of the cam (5) by means of the
rollers (8).
The vacuum distributor (15) is found inside the cam (5) and is held against the body of the turn-table (3) by the spring
(16). Vacuum reaches the feed rods (2) through the ducting in the body (1).
The caps are held inside the cavities (4) by the vacuum created until they are let onto the spindles of the work drum.
Once the work-cycle has been completed, the rods (2) pick up the caps from the spindles and then place them inside
the exit channel. This is accomplished as the rods follow the cam’s (5) movement through the rollers (8) provided.
