    摘要: A method for inspecting the side wall of an object includes the following steps: transporting the object on a conveyor; receiving the object to be inspected in an inspection station positioned along the conveyor, where the axis (A) of the object is oriented along a longitudinal direction (D); capturing a first image through a first camera which views the object from above along an optical path which has at least one component that is parallel to the longitudinal direction (D); deriving a three-dimensional representation of the side wall of the object based on the first image and on reference data; capturing a second image, representing a portion of the side wall of the object, the second image having perspective distortion; deriving a third image representing the portion of the side wall of the object, the third image being without perspective distortion.

    摘要: An apparatus comprises:



    at least one mould for forming an object from a dose of polymeric material;
    a conveying device having a central support rotatable about a first axis the conveying device comprising at least one conveying element movable along a first closed path for collecting the dose and subsequently releasing the dose in the mould;
    a removing device having a central body rotatable about a second axis, the removing device comprising at least one removing element movable along a second closed path for conveying the object away from the mould.




    The first axis is distinct from the second axis and at least one point exists at which one path selected from between the first closed path and the second closed path overlaps another path selected from between the second closed path and the first closed path.

    摘要: A cap for a container comprises:



    a retaining ring suitable for being associated with a neck of the container;
    a closing element comprising a lateral wall which extends around an axis and a transversal wall which extends transversally to the axis for defining a closed end of the closing element;
    a hinge structure which connects the closing element to the retaining ring, so that the closing element is displaceable between an open position and a closed position.




    The closing element comprises a projection which projects from an outer surface of the lateral wall transversally to said axis, the projection extending around said axis by an angle of at least 180°.

    摘要: A method for producing an object made of a polymeric material, said polymeric material having a melting temperature (TF), comprises the steps of: melting the polymeric material; after the step of melting, cooling the polymeric material below the melting temperature (TF) in a cooling zone; severing a dose from a flow of polymeric material coming from the cooling zone by means of a severing element (5); obtaining said object by shaping the dose between a male forming element and a female forming element (10) which move towards one another with a mutual movement speed, the dose having a temperature lower than said melting temperature (TF). Between a start-of-forming configuration, in which the dose is in contact with both the male forming element and the female forming element (10), and a start-of-deceleration configuration, in which the male forming element and the female forming element (10) begin to decelerate relative to one another, the mutual movement speed is greater than 10 mm/s.

    摘要: Described is a cap for a container, a combination of a closing cap for a container and a neck of the container and a relative method for making the cap for the container.
    The cap comprises a lateral wall extending about an axis and a transversal wall positioned at one end of the lateral wall, a separation line being provided on the lateral wall to define a retaining ring, which is configured to remain anchored to a neck of the container and which extends up to a free edge; a closing element removably engageable with the neck, so as to open or close the container; the separation line extends about an axis and being circumferentially interrupted to leave the retaining ring and the closing element joined; wherein the retaining ring comprises a joining portion at which the retaining ring is joined to the closing element; a first connecting band, which extends from a first end zone of the joining portion to the retaining portion, and a second connecting band, which extends from a second end zone of the joining portion, the second end zone being positioned circumferentially on the opposite side to the first end zone; a tab, interposed between the first connecting band and the second connecting band and being protruding, or aligned with respect to it, so that, when the closing element is in an open condition and the connecting bands keep the closing element connected to the retaining ring, the tab can rest on the neck. A method is also provided for making the cap in a cutting unit.
