Michael.
That's a wonderful piece of machinery to watch! :bugeye:
Almost 40yrs ago. I spent some 18 months, making many complicated parts for, "a machine to pick up lumps molten glass and make 'em into wine glasses". :thumbup:
The parts, (24off of everything), left me and were never seen/ heard of again...... :scratch:
I would have loved to see that whirligig running........ Or not! :D

Hi Michael

Thank you for the video
Scuba1:
Thank you for the kind comments. I do like my job, as it is pretty versatile and they usually leave me to tinker at will. I have been playing with it today to get it up to speed its doing 46 bottles a minute now, but i think it can do better then that. At the moment i am tinkering with the accelleration and breaking curves of the indexing drive and the speed of the cylinders that push the bottles out and towards the conveyor. I guess in a week or so it is ready to ship and then I can start the next one. That one will fill and cap cream jars for the girls :wave:

Nice one Michael! Maybe it is just my mind...but what exactly is the item it is capping???!???
Scuba1:
Those are pump bottles for things like sun tan lotion and such stuff. The white things are just pucks made out of PTFE that have the profile of the bottle milled into them. That way you can use the same machine with minor changes in the settings for different shapes and sizes of bottles as all the machine knows hot to do is to put a cap in the middle of the white puck at a predetermined hight.
