PROBLEM:

To design an operator free system that would allow for component stability, the running of many different sizes and maintaining constant datum control points for easy and quick changeovers, by automatically assembling empty cans into pucks.

	Provide a system capable of accepting empty pucks from a recirculating conveyor at a lower level.
	Assemble the cans into the pucks without an attendant.
	Accomplish the assembly without scuffing, marring or marking the outer surfaces of the cans in any way.

EQUIPMENT FURNISHED:

	An eight (8) station continuous motion rotary assembly turret.
	An empty can infeed screw assembly.
