Pick & Place Capping Machine

A Pick & Place Capping Machine is an advanced automation system used in packaging industries to place and tighten caps on bottles or containers with precision and consistency. This machine uses robotic or pneumatic arms to “pick” caps from a cap chute or feeder and “place” them accurately onto the container before securing them. Highly efficient and user-friendly, Pick & Place Capping Machines are suitable for plastic, glass, or PET bottles and work seamlessly with different cap types including screw caps, ROPP caps, flip-top caps, CRC caps, and more.

These machines are widely used in pharmaceuticals,cosmetics, food & beverages, chemicals, and lubricant industries for high-speed, consistent, and hygienic capping operations.

Key Features & Their Uses

Feature	Use / Function
Pick & Place Mechanism	Automatically picks and places the cap onto the container for precision capping.
Torque Adjustable Capping Head	Ensures consistent tightening to avoid over/under-tightening of caps.
PLC Control System	User-friendly control system for easy setup, monitoring, and fault detection.
Cap Elevator or Feeder	Automatically feeds caps into the capping head, reducing manual labor.
High-Speed Output	Capable of handling 30–120 bottles per minute depending on model.
Stainless Steel Body (SS 304/316)	Corrosion-resistant and GMP-compliant for hygienic operations.
Quick Changeover Mechanism	Allows easy switching between different bottle and cap sizes.
Safety Enclosures & Interlocks	Ensures operator safety during operation and maintenance.
No Bottle–No Cap System	Prevents wastage by skipping capping if no container is detected.
Servo or Pneumatic Operation	Offers flexible and energy-efficient cap placement control.
