and stop of the corresponding motorization.
Obscuring photocell n. 2: Descent of the reading head and
contemporary closing of the indexing unit levers that line the
box up as necessary; in this phase the “box measurement”
is executed.
Once the measurement is finished the forming-sealing group
is positioned at the corresponding height of the reading + 20
