Abstract
An apparatus, system and method for seaming an end cap to an end of a target object using a fixed, rigid roller carriage that is configured to move along a direction that is orthogonal to a rotation axis of the end cap and the target object. The end cap seaming apparatus and system preferably comprise servo motors that move the roller carriage and rotate the end cap and the target object. The end cap seaming apparatus and system may be configured to learn the shape of the end cap and the target object by learning a shape of an end cap holding member on which the end cap is held. An automated method of seaming the end cap to the target object is executed based on the learned shape of the end cap holding member.
