Round continuous motion
Example: Syringe printing
The syringes are fed-in through a bunker elevator,
a centrifugal feeder and a single lane linear feeder.
The system is built from a steel lacquered frame on which 5 rotating dials are mounted, all mechanically synchronized. Between all dials spring-loaded-gates are mounted, which open itself and slow down or even stop the machine if deformed parts are detected. In the linear feeder the syringes are pre-treated with a high-frequency-corona system. Then the syringes are picked up in the first dial, equipped with cam-controlled straightening fingers. In the second dial the syringe barrels are pre-oriented to be able to handle the eccentric tips. Next the syringes are loaded between two bearing centers and printed using an offset print head type RBX-120-80-1F-BW360. The printing roller of this type of print head has a cam driven printing correction. In the next dial the syringes are UV-cured. In the last dial, the good/bad decision take place. The gross output of the machine is 500+ parts per minute.
