<p>A method is disclosed of orienting a container in a labeling system. The method includes the steps of: providing a plurality of containers on a conveyor wherein the containers and the conveyor are moving at a constant velocity V C ; receiving a captured container of the plurality of containers between a first belt that is moving at a dynamic velocity VA and a second belt that is moving at a dynamic velocity V B, the first and second belts capturing opposing sides of a captured container while the captured container remains on the conveyor, wherein at the time of capturing the container between the first and second belts, V A,V B and V C are substantially equal to each other; applying a label to the container using the first and second belts by adjusting the velocities V A and V B; adjusting the orientation of the captured container by further adjusting the velocities V A and V B; and releasing the captured container from the first and second belts at the velocity V C on the conveyor, wherein at the time of releasing the container from between the first and second belts, V A, V B and V C are substantially equal to each other.</p> |
