<p>The present invention relates to a machine for manufacturing the wire hoods used to fasten and secure bottle stoppers, especially in the case of Champagne or sparkling wine bottles, where the wire (Ia) that serves the purpose of forming the belt is unwound from a coil (2), preferably placed at the back of the machine, and from here - through a system of guides (7; 8) - it is fed into a groove (4) leading it directly to a threading and twisting device; before being fed into the wire-guiding groove, however, the thickness of the wire is measured by a series of small rollers, while it is made to progress along the groove (4) by means of a motor (5) located upstream from the groove (4) itself; at the exit from the groove (4), the wire is made to follow a circular path, which can be set by means of an electronic PLC control unit (6) and, at the same time, to pass inside the four eyelets at the tip of the legs of the star- shaped element sitting in the threading and twisting device of the wire hood machine; a pair of blades (21; 22) - controlled by a mechanical cam - then cuts the wire (Ia) to the required length.</p> |
