Abstract
A rotary seamer () is provided with a carousel () and with at least one seaming station () associated with the carousel () and comprising a rod-like element () rotating around its own longitudinal axis, a seaming tool () rotatably connected to a lever () integral with the rod-like element () and means for rotating the rod-like element () around its own longitudinal axis, in such a way as to displace the seaming tool () from an operative position, in which it interacts with an object seaming it, to a deactivated position, of non interference with the object; said means comprising an electric motor () associated with the carousel and kinetically to the rod-like element () and control means operatively active on the electric motor () to rotate the rod-like element () according to a predefined logic. In known seamers the actuation of the seaming tool is achieved by means of a cam, this entailing limitations and drawbacks in the adaptation of the seamer to the treatment of different objects.
