How it works

  1. Magazine

    The flat cases wait in the vertical magazine, which holds 80 and is refilled without stopping the machine.

  2. Pick

    The suction cups pick the case from the magazine; a sensor detects if the case drops.

  3. Erecting

    The machine opens the case and folds the bottom flaps.

  4. Bottom taping

    The tape cassette seals the bottom, with a safe cutting system.

  5. Outfeed

    The erected case moves on to the case packer; a sensor confirms each case leaves.
