At the last Ipack-Ima, the Mondial Group presented a wide range of industrial automation technologies in the food and beverage sector. These include the rotating head for capping applications.

By using two servo motors with a combined action, it is able to take a capsule, place it on the container and close it by screwing or pressing it under controlled force. Compared to conventional capping heads it provides: Higher operating speed, with optimized production times; precise process control, with real-time monitoring; compact design ideal for multi-head machines.

The photo shows DTS+ HepcoMotion, an evolution of the DTS linear system designed for assembly and packaging applications, with positioning accuracy of +/- 0.05 mm, for loads up to 400 N and operating speeds up to 1.5 m/s. The MLM7N linear module with Beckhoff motor is an ideal solution for applications that require high compactness between trucks. Key features include: Handling a large number of trucks, with passive magnetic movers; ball guide with double skid, for maximum rigidity and load capacity; and dynamic control software.
