Carousel for an article-handling machine and relative method of driving in rotation

摘要

There is described a carousel (1) for an article-handling machine (2), comprising: a stator (3); a rotor (4) rotatable with respect to said stator (3) in a first direction and adapted to be operatively connected to a plurality of operative heads for carrying out an operation on respective articles; and a first motor (10), which is operatively connected to said rotor (4) and is controllable for exerting a first torque (Cm) on said rotor (4) a first torque (Cm); carousel (1) further comprises a second motor (20), which is drivable independently of first motor (10), is operatively connected to rotor (4) and is controllable for exerting on rotor (4) a second torque (Cf).
