Gear reducer brings labeling accuracy, better ergonomics

A high-speed pressure-sensitive labeler with an overhead-belt container stabilizer depends on a servo motor/planetary gear reducer combo to advance bottles

But this is prevented from happening by the overhead-belt container stabilizer, which is driven by a Rockwell servo motor and a Model PL-020 planetary gear reducer from Onvio. Like other such reducers, the PL-020 multiplies the torque delivered to the timing pulley mounted to its output end by reducing servo motor speed delivered to its input side. Mounted on the pulley is a belt, and it’s this belt that drives the overhead-belt container stabilizer.
