Abstract: A capping device fits caps onto containers by applying an axial force to the caps as they are threaded onto the containers. The capping device utilizes a spindle rotatable about an operational axis for imparting rotation to a capper unit. A connector coupled to the capper unit is releasably coupled to the spindle by a quick release mechanism. The quick release mechanism is normally biased in the locked position and is configured to automatically move from the unlocked position back to the locked position when the connector mates with the spindle as a user re-connects the capping unit back to the spindle. Methods of releasing and re-connecting the capping unit to the spindle are also disclosed.

Abstract: An improved quick-change collet chuck used with an existing single lane capping apparatus for gripping and installing container caps during the automated high-volume filling and capping process. The quick-change collet chuck allows quick and effortless swapping out of different size jaw sets for different size caps and minimizes interruption and downtime during the automated container capping processes. The quick-change collet chuck has a slim profile for low inertia so as not to interfere with high speed operation and accurate servo torquing. Another optional feature is shown in conjunction with the quick-change collet chuck to facilitate reversible operation when it is desirable to include on-the-fly cap removal and removal torque testing on the capping machine. This feature insures that the collet chuck cannot unscrew or spin loose from the spindle shaft after the quick-change collet is already locked in position.

Abstract translation: 一种改进的快速夹头卡盘，与现有的单通道封盖装置一起使用，用于在自动化大容量灌装和封盖过程中夹紧和安装容器盖。 快速更换夹头卡盘可以快速，轻松地从不同尺寸的夹头中更换不同尺寸的夹头，并在自动化集装箱封盖过程中最大限度地减少中断和停机时间。 快换夹头卡盘具有低惯性的细长轮廓，不会干扰高速运行和精确的伺服扭矩。 与快速夹头卡盘一起显示另一个可选特征，以便在希望在封盖机上包括飞行盖移除和去除扭矩测试时促进可逆操作。 此功能确保了快速夹头已经锁定到位后，夹头卡盘不能从主轴转动松开或旋转松动。

Abstract: A capping device fits caps onto containers by applying an axial force to the caps as they are threaded onto the containers. The capping device utilizes a drive member rotatable about an operational axis for imparting rotation to a capper body slidably coupled to the drive member. A helical spring urges the capper body away from the drive member with a biasing force. An adjustment mechanism adjusts the biasing force thereby adjusting the axial force applied to the caps as they are threaded onto the containers. A pair of retaining pins move between a latched position to prevent adjustment of the biasing force and an unlatched position to allow adjustment of the biasing force. The retaining pins are biased in the latched position to prevent inadvertent adjustment of the biasing force during use.

Abstract: A coupling mechanism for interconnecting a drive spindle and a capping chuck, the mechanism including a coupling hub internally threaded for fastening to the spindle. A collar is disposed around the hub, and the hub has an arcuate groove in which a spring is positioned and retained by a removable plate. The hub has lugs integral therewith extending into receiving slots in a floating ring positioned in the collar below the hub. The floating ring is elliptically shaped for lateral movement relative to the collar along a first axis, and has feet integral therewith extending into keyways in a coupling member laterally movable relative to the ring along a second axis right angularly related to the first axis. The coupling member drives a chuck sleeve through a torsion spring to release the closure upon achieving a predetermined degree of tightness on a container.
