Abstract: Energy mechanism assemblies and methods of operating such assemblies are described. One method of providing energy to an item may comprise positioning an item proximate an energy mechanism assembly comprising a first and second energy mechanism and a translation system configured to move the second mechanism along between a first position and a second position along a first axis and a second axis, positioning the item between the first and second mechanisms, moving the second mechanism from the first position to the second position, moving the second mechanism along the second axis for a first length while the second mechanism is in contact with the item; and providing energy to the item at least while the second mechanism contacts the item.

Abstract: An energy apparatus can be configured for providing energy to an item being transferred over a rotatable drum. The energy apparatus can include a first energy mechanism configured to be fixedly coupled to the rotatable drum and rotate with the rotatable drum. The energy apparatus can also include a second energy mechanism configured to rotate around a circumference of the rotatable drum. The energy apparatus can additionally include a translation system coupled to the second energy mechanism and configured to move the second energy mechanism to an end position that allows the second energy mechanism and the first energy mechanism to provide energy to the item while there is no relative motion between the first energy mechanism and the second energy mechanism. Methods of providing energy to an item utilizing an energy apparatus are also disclosed.
