Component Specifications

Definition
A mechanical chuck component designed to precisely hold and position cylindrical beverage containers (cans, bottles) during the foil sealing process in automated beverage packaging machinery. It ensures accurate alignment between the container opening and the sealing head for consistent hermetic seals.
Working Principle
Uses pneumatic or servo-driven clamping mechanisms with adjustable jaws to grip containers from the exterior or interior. Incorporates alignment guides and sensors to verify position before sealing cycle initiation. May include floating mounts to compensate for minor container dimensional variations.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316) for corrosion resistance, aluminum alloys for lightweight sections, food-grade polyurethane or nitrile rubber for contact surfaces, anodized or coated finishes.
Technical Parameters
  • Cycle Time < 0.5 seconds
  • Clamping Force 50-200 N
  • Temperature Range -10°C to 80°C
  • Operating Pressure 4-6 bar (pneumatic models)
  • Positioning Accuracy ±0.1 mm
  • Max Container Diameter 40-120 mm
Standards
ISO 22000, ISO 9001, DIN 8741
