Robotic Capping Machine for screw-on caps by Albertina

Capline Robo is a linear capping machine that is designed for the closing of canisters, gallons, and other types of mostly large-scale containers. It´s a linear type machine and thanks to this design the machine can be used for various sizes of containers without any format parts. Capline Robo closes containers without stopping them. This way it totally eliminates the risk of product splashing with subsequent soiling of the packaging or conveyor belt

Capline Robo is equipped with a caps hopper with an automatic elevator. This elevator is also used for the orientation of the caps. The caps then fall down a caps rail to the taking position, and the fullness of the caps rail is detected by sensors. When there is a low buffer of the caps in the rail the sensor starts the elevator and the rails are automatically refilled.

Containers enter by conveyor belt to the side belt system. These belts stabilize the container during capping and they also protect the container against spinning.

The first robotic unit Fanuc Scara takes the cap and places it on the neck of the container. The second robotic unit Fanuc Scara then tights the cap to the requested torque and the closed container leaves the machine.
