Box erecting robot
What is it?
The four-flap carton box forming station consists of an industrial robot that picks up cartons from four feeders and an automatically adjustable cartoner, delivering boxes of four different dimensions to the line. The carton folding robot picks up cartons from the four feeders and then applies tape to the bottom of the carton. The pre-folded cartons are then transported to a designated location. The cartoner can be adjusted at any time to accommodate different carton sizes. The feeder holds approximately 160 cartons with a thickness of 2 mm and is equipped with a low carton level indicator. The station is fully safe thanks to sensors in the feeders, fencing, and an access gate with an electro-lock.

What issues does it solve?
The use of a carton folder solves problems related to staff availability difficulties and the organization of multitasking work for large production orders, thanks to management by a supervisory system. The carton folding station, which handles multiple types of cartons (references), minimizes the need for complex and time-consuming retooling. It also reduces the need for frequent replenishment of the feeders. With three-shift operation, the automated cartoner ensures 100% repeatability and quality, eliminating problems with worker concentration, such as during the night shift. This also solves issues with recruiting a manager working in three shifts. We can easily customize the device to your needs, taking into account other stages of the production and packaging process, e.g., by adding labeling functionality.
Benefits of Using an Automated Carton Folder
Solving staff availability issues
Ability to unlock human potential and shift competencies elsewhere.
Greater versatility
Ability to automatically form up to 4 cartons simultaneously and easily retool to many other sizes (references).
Small or large batch packaging
Thanks to the flexibility in choosing references, the machine can be easily adapted to customer needs, enabling small batch packaging: individual or personalized.
