Los medios de captation de imagenes (13) pueden comprender dispositivos (por ejemplo, camaras de captacion visual, laser) que captan una imagen de la posicion relativa de la tapa superior (2), los cuales envlan una senal de la imagen a los medios de evaluation.The image capture means (13) can comprise devices (for example, visual capture cameras, laser) that capture an image of the relative position of the upper cover (2), which send a signal of the image to the media of evaluation.
De forma simultanea, los medios de evaluacion recogen datos relacionados con la velocidad de giro del plato giratorio (7) para colocar la tapa superior (2) y la velocidad de giro y la velocidad de giro de dos correas entre las cuales circulan las tapas superiores (2).Simultaneously, the evaluation means collect data related to the rotational speed of the turntable (7) to place the upper cover (2) and the rotation speed and the rotation speed of two belts between which the upper covers circulate (2).
Finalmente, los medios de evaluacion llevan a cabo una correction o ajuste del valor asociado con la velocidad de giro de una o ambas correas (15), a traves de modificar la velocidad de giro de la polea motriz (16), en funcion de los datos relacionados con la velocidad de giro del plato giratorio y datos relacionados con la velocidad de avance de la tapa previamente al paso entre las dos correas (15, 15’).Finally, the evaluation means carry out a correction or adjustment of the value associated with the speed of rotation of one or both belts (15), through modifying the speed of rotation of the driving pulley (16), depending on the data related to the speed of rotation of the turntable and data related to the speed of advance of the cover prior to the passage between the two belts (15, 15 ').
