Abstract (en)

There is disclosed a position control system (9, 9') for controlling the position of an article fillable with a pourable product with respect to a operating unit (8) of an article-handling machine (1), comprising: an actuator (15) which may rotate about a first axis (A) integrally with operating unit (8) and completely carries the weight of article (2, 2'); actuator (15) being further adapted to move said article (2, 2') relative to operating unit (8) about and/or along a second axis (B) distinct from first axis (A); and a control unit (16) configured for: i) receiving a control signal associated to at least one parameter between the nature of the pourable product, the material of the article, the movement law of said article (2, 2') along and/or about second axis (B) with respect to the angular position of actuator (15) about first axis (A); and ii) controlling the movement of said actuator (15) on the basis of control signal.
