As packaging lines face increasing pressure to run faster, handle more variants, and fit into tighter footprints, automation strategies must balance precision, flexibility, and size. One effective approach is the coordinated use of compact robots integrated with machine vision - an architecture well-suited for highly repeatable tasks like bottle handling and capping.

Torque Limit Application Example - Bottle Capping with BLDC Motors
For applications where torque needs to be limited, an external mechanical torque limiter is typically required in addition to the motor system. When the torque exceeds the limit, the torque limiter will either decouple the load or limit the torque by slipping. An electric motor system's built-in torque limit function can simplify machine designs by eliminating this extra component.
