I've often watched mechanisms like that on How It's Made/How It Works/etc. and marveled at the sheer brilliance involved in overcoming problems such as randomly shaped parts arriving upside down or the wrong way around.

Your device is easily up there with the best of them, it's mightily impressive. I'm curious, if one of the check stations fails a bottle (e.g. the one after the cap is screwed in), what happens? Does the bottle get kicked off the line?

PeterE:
That is a really nice piece of machinery  :bow:

I can only guess how many hours have been spent in finding out the exact operating sequence. Brilliant!

When looking at your film and the result, it is always very fascinating to see all the lifts, tips, twists and whatever.

 :beer: :nrocks:

Very cool! Building machines is so rewarding. Makes a 3 axis router build look like a walk in the park... :beer:

Yes when a cap is coss threaded or damaged in another way, the machine will push that bottle onto e reject conveyor. That conveyor is nt installed at the moment as we don't have enough room in the workshot right now, but the duble cylinder at the right hand side and the gate are there and working. I dave just for now deactivated that function because i don't want the thing to throw those bottles and pucks at my feet.  :D

Fascinating :bow:

My mate builds similar sorts of machines.

The most amazing machine I ever saw was in Germany at a rope-making factory. It starts off with cotton-sized threads and twines that into thicker strands, which in turn are twined together to make thicker and thicker until it finally produced a cable 6 inches thick. I was trying to follow the bobbins on the revolving tables when I was dragged away :(

Evidently, watching the machine memerises the watcher until he falls into it :lol:
