1. An energy apparatus configured for providing energy to an item being transferred over a rotatable drum having a longitudinal axis, the energy apparatus comprising:
a first energy mechanism configured to be fixedly coupled to the rotatable drum and rotate with the rotatable drum;
a second energy mechanism configured to rotate around a circumference of the rotatable drum, the first energy mechanism and the second energy mechanism configured to provide energy to an item; and
a translation system coupled to the second energy mechanism, the translation system comprising at least a first cam, a first cam follower configured to travel along a path of the first cam, and one or more linkages;
wherein the translation system is configured to move the second energy mechanism in an axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable drum and a radial direction, the radial direction being radial with respect to a center point of the circumference of the rotatable drum.
