Cartoning machines are used to push regular products (such as food, medicine, tissues, eye makeup) and instruction manuals into boxes and seal them. They typically include stations for unloading, feeding, box feeding, box suction, paper folding, push rod, and sealing, and also have multiple inspection stations for automatically rejecting defective products.
Case Details
Carton Making and Packaging MachineCartoning machines are used to push regular products (such as food, medicine, tissues, eye makeup) and instruction manuals into boxes and seal them. They typically include stations for unloading, feeding, box feeding, box suction, paper folding, push rod, and sealing, and also have multiple inspection stations for automatically rejecting defective products. Mechanical cartoning machines are widely used in the market due to their high cycle time and ease of line change, while fully servo-driven machines are becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of line change.
Industry ChallengesLong Changeover Time: Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) such as food come in diverse specifications, requiring frequent changes in equipment specifications. Traditional methods necessitate manual adjustments, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and pose safety hazards.
Low Capacity: High-speed operation suffers from issues like push rod rebound and misalignment of folding mechanisms, resulting in poor box shape and slow speed.
High Service Demand: Equipment manufacturers flexibly assemble modular transmission mechanisms based on end-user needs. Feeders come in various forms, such as rotary, funnel, and sorting types, requiring customized development and resulting in a high service volume.
Solution FeaturesDedicated Algorithm for Rapid Changeover: A dedicated changeover algorithm automatically calculates chain plate pitch and spacing by inputting the box's length, width, and height dimensions. Supports 100 recipe memories and one-click automatic adjustment.
Software empowerment breaks through production capacity bottlenecks. Codesys quintic curve + servo super tracking algorithm ensures smooth high-speed intermittent operation and seamless inter-axis collaboration.
Highly flexible UI selection. For diverse mechanical transmissions, the HMI offers configuration interfaces for speed ratio, circumference, and switches. For various feeders, it provides library selection, allowing for easy point-and-click fulfillment of diverse needs.
Realizing valueTraditional changeover time is 4 hours; automatic changeover time is 5-30 minutes, reducing changeover time by 80%.
Speed is 80-100 boxes/minute, increasing production capacity by 20%.
Easy UI configuration fulfills diverse mechanical requirements.
