A machine includes a single power source 18 for asynchronously operating dual indexing conveyors 12 and 14. The single power source 18 is part of a drive system 16 for the conveyors 12 and 14 and may be a reversible servo unit 18 operatively connected to gear sets 80 and 82 and one-way clutches 38 to drive the conveyors 12 and 14. Alternatively, the power source may be a uni-directional rotating driver with a linkage to reciprocate a rack operatively connected to gear sets with one-way clutches. Each of the conveyors 12 and 14 advances liquid-filled open-topped containers C and is configured to engage the containers C releasably. The drive system 16 schedules conveyor motion according to a predetermined motion profile. The motion profile comprises sequential indexing periods, each indexing period comprising a move portion and a dwell portion. Each move portion comprises a generally discontinuous acceleration profile that includes generally instantaneous acceleration changes of a finite value.

The invention relates to a packaging machine comprising a horizontal conveyor and stations along this for processing packaging blanks, preferably case blanks, up to ready cases filled with product. The conveyor is constructed around pivotal gear bearings (roller path bearings) or the like, whereby one of the bearing races defines a circular conveyor path, and holders or carrier fingers for the case blanks are arranged on the driven race in the bearing arrangement. The arrangement allows a packaging machine structure where the essential elements are constituted by standard components, and by placing a plurality of bearing rings vertically above one another in the machine frame, possibilities for a flexible camshaft arrangement and format adjustment in the height direction are offered, as well as an open and easily accessible structure being obtained for maintenance and repair. In an alternative embodiment, the camshaft arrangement can comprise a camshaft placed in the centre of the pivotal ring bearing.

A linear drive apparatus (10) for moving a carton (175) in a packaging machine from a first position to a second position is set forth. A first drive belt (115) is connected to a drive roller (75) and disposed about the drive roller (75) in a clockwise direction at a first end thereof while a second end of the first drive belt (115) is connected to a first position of an engagement assembly (15). A second drive belt (95) is connected to the drive roller (75) and disposed about the drive roller (75) in a counter-clockwise direction at a first end thereof while a second end of the second drive belt (59) is connected to a second portion of the engagement assembly (15) opposite the first portion of the engagement assembly (15). The rotation of a drive shaft (80) in a clockwise direction causes linear movement of the engagement assembly (15) in a first direction along the guide rods (50) and the rotation of the drive shaft (80) in a counter-clockwise direction causes linear movement of the engagement assembly (15) in a second direction opposite the first direction.

The invention relates to a device for forming the envelope of groups of cigarettes to form an inner and or outer wrapper of the cigarettes, or a so-called forming or wrapping wheel having driving device in which the input shaft (107) is connected to a drive shaft by means of a joint which is a non homokinetic joint for coupling drive shafts (108) with continuous rotary motion with input shafts (107) of transmissions (3) to transform the continuous rotary motion into a rotary motion advancing in steps alternating with dwell periods. According to the invention said joint comprises two degrees of freedom of which one is radial and the other angular between the two parts (110, 410) of the joint that may be coupled to each other and are mounted revolving integral with an output shaft (108) of a drive unit (8) and an input shaft (107) of a transmission (7, 3) respectively transforming the continuous rotary motion into a rotary motion in steps, the said shafts (108, 107) are arranged revolving around their axes (A1, A2) which are oriented parallel among themselves and are radially staggered among themselves..

摘要:
A horizontal packaging machine for wrapping and sealing articles with flexible films comprises, a servo control system for maintaining synchronism between the finwheel drive (14), the in-feed conveyor (3) and the cut-off knife assembly (9) so that proper registration of the graphic art work on the packaged article is achieved. The finwheels (8,15) are driven by D.C. motor (13) whose armature windings are connected to the ouput of a servo amplifier (10). A master tachometer (20) driven by the horizontal wrapper's drive motor (see 6) provides a voltage which is directly proportional to the angular velocity of that drive motor. The output from the master tachometer (20) is passed through a calibrating network and into a first input (19) of the servo amplifier circuit (10). A second tachometer (16) is coupled to the finwheel shaft and produces a feedback signal proportional to the angular velocity of the finwheels (15). The feedback signal is applied to the second input (18) of the servo amplifier (10) and functions to control the D.C. current driving the finwheel drive motor (13). The system also includes a digital logic network (80,81) which senses a reference mark (70a) on the film from which the package is formed along with the rate at which the end-seal cutting blade is rotating (see 87 to 89) to produce a supplemental or vernier control signal for adjustment of the rotational speed of the finwheel (15).
