This example shows how the overwrapping process can be synchronized to a batch of products (bottles) on a conveyor. The fast latch functionality is used to capture the position of the bottles by reading a value from an encoder attached to the conveyor. This fast latch is triggered when the bottles pass a registration sensor. From this measured position we can set a position trigger value at which point our axes will start moving to wrap the batch of bottles. The move types used to achieve this are known as 'flying shears'. Once the bottles are wrapped they will move past another sensor which will turn the heater on and shrink the wrap around the bottles.
