Side Transfer & Orientation Modules for Alignment&Labeling Bottom Vial
Bottom Labeling & Coding Solutions.
Locus-Robotics engineers precision side guide orienters that ensure perfect bottle positioning during conveyor transport. These critical components eliminate misalignment in high-speed bottling lines, reducing jams and product damage by 90%.
Side orienting modules secure vial/tare during horizontal conveyor gaps and transfer them to downstream sections. These systems enable precision bottom labeling (stickers/holograms) and inkjet marking (lot codes, expiry dates, serialization) on vial/tare bases.
Dual Synchronized Belts
Two laterally positioned belt conveyors with independent servo drives
Coordinated motion via centralized frequency inverter control
Gap Bridging
Installed between separated horizontal conveyors
Containers captured by orienting belts → transferred at preset speed
Speed Synchronization
Integrated encoder option for upstream/downstream timing alignment
Container Indexing
Upstream polyurethane foam indexing disc maintains container pitch

|---|---|
| Dual belt conveyors | Container gripping & transfer |
| Frequency inverter | Speed regulation (0-100% adjustable) |
| Rotary encoder | Positional synchronization |
| Foam-tipped indexing wheel | Gap control between containers |
