Rotary packaging line
Coordinate a six-pocket indexing table and a force-limited sealing head. Timing, payload and motor torque determine throughput, rejects and jams.
What happens
Watch the table dwell before the sealing head descends. Add control delay or reduce torque; an unfinished package is rejected at the outfeed. Compare the safety interlock.
Guided packages are rigidly held in table pockets. A finite-torque index servo follows a smooth command; the sealing head has finite mass and force. Loading and unloading are ideal station handovers, not a free-body conveyor simulation. A head-holder collision locks the shaft rather than allowing interpenetration.
