초록 ▼

A transfer turret assembly is provided for transferring can bodies between process stations in a can necking machine. The transfer turret assembly includes a rotatable transfer starwheel. A plurality of pockets is formed in the starwheel that can each receive a can body. The turret assembly includes a vacuum assembly having a first zone that is under vacuum and a second zone separated from the first region by a boundary. The first zone vacuum retention force to vacuum ports formed in the pockets to retain the can bodies within the pockets. The boundary between the first zone and the second zone is adjustable to correspondingly adjust the vacuum retention force according to desired starwheel rotation speed.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A transfer turret assembly for a can necking machine, the transfer turret assembly comprising: a rotatable transfer starwheel configured to transfer can bodies between can pockets of a first process station and can pockets of a second process station, the transfer starwheel including a plurality of peripheral pockets, each peripheral pocket adapted to receive a can body and including a vacuum port; andat least one adjustable baffle that has an adjustable position relative to either an infeed position or a discharge position;wherein the peripheral pockets are adapted to rotate between the infeed position, in which a retaining airflow is applied through the vacuum port, and the discharge position, in which the retaining airflow from the vacuum port is removed, and wherein at least one of the infeed position and the discharge position is adjustable relative to the other by the at least one adjustable baffle to enable adjustment of the at least one of the infeed position and discharge position relative to the corresponding can pocket of the process station. 2. The transfer turret assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the infeed and discharge positions at least partially define an active vacuum zone and a vacuum abatement zone separated by the at least one adjustable baffle. 3. The transfer turret assembly as recited in claim 2, further comprising a vacuum assembly juxtaposed with the transfer starwheel such that the starwheel is rotatable about the vacuum assembly, wherein the vacuum assembly comprises a channel operable to apply a vacuum retention force to some but not all of the vacuum ports. 4. The transfer turret assembly as recited in claim 3, further comprising a chamber separated from the channel by the at least one adjustable baffle, wherein the channel is in fluid communication with a vacuum source inlet. 5. The transfer turret assembly as recited in claim 3, further comprising a valve configured to adjust a magnitude of airflow through the channel. 6. The transfer turret assembly as recited in claim 1 comprising two adjustable baffles. 7. The transfer turret assembly as recited in claim 6, wherein one of the baffle plates is configured to have a fixed angular position and the other baffle plate is configured to have an adjustable angular position. 8. The transfer turret assembly as recited in claim 6, wherein both of the baffle plates are configured to have adjustable angular positions. 9. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 8, wherein each of the baffle plates is independently adjustable. 10. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the infeed position and the discharge position define an adjustable circumferential length along which the retaining airflow is applied to peripheral pockets. 11. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 10, wherein the adjustable circumferential length is configured to be adjusted according to a desired starwheel rotational speed. 12. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 2, wherein the active vacuum is in fluid communication with a vacuum source and at least a plurality of the vacuum ports. 13. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 12, further comprising a valve configured to adjust a magnitude of airflow through the at least a plurality of the vacuum ports. 14. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 12, wherein the vacuum abatement zone is at least partially removed from fluid communication with the vacuum source. 15. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 2, wherein the active vacuum zone is further defined by a vacuum manifold. 16. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the adjustable position is an adjustable angular position. 17. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein the adjustable position is capable of tuning. 18. The transfer assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein each one of the infeed position and the discharge position is adjustable.
