Machine: Reciprocating mechanism applies inserts to a conveyor fed product.
Application Description: A conveyor is feeding randomly spaced product to a reciprocating inserting station. Upstream, a motor is driving the conveyor carrying the product. The conveyor travels at various speeds depending on the product being transported. The insert must be properly placed and aligned with the product.
In order to achieve this exact placement, the independently driven insert applicator must be synchronized to the conveyor.
