Automations

The WINDOW LAYER ROBOT has been designed to work with forming machines that form covered boxes, especially for the shirt-making industry. This is a patented unit, capable of automatically applying a layer of cellophane (or similar material) over the opening or window of shirt boxes.

The ROBOT is directly connected to the box-forming machine without the need for any modifications because the robot has its own independent power circuit.

The ROBOT applies the window made of transparent material on the paper sheet laid out and glued before the box is covered; it unwinds the correct length of film from the reel, cuts it and places it in the correct position with the utmost of precision and speed by means of a device that finds the centre position.

TECHNICAL DATA

- electrical system conforming to standards controlled by PLC

- max 42 windows per minute production speed

- reel film width from 30 to 60 mm

- film length max 110 mm

- pneumatic system working pressure 4-5 bar

- ROBOT height 500 mm

- transverse adjustment on conveyor belt for window, 100 mm per side in relation to belt axis.

- ROBOT width on gluing machine belt adjustable from 550 to 750 mm

- lengthwise positioning adjustable by 700mm

- accident prevention devices.

Based on twenty years’ experience of satisfying customer requirements and as a result of numerous requests from box makers, we have built a Robot able to apply larger size windows also on the lid of the box.

This special automatic machine starts with reels of cardboard and after various working phases produces cardboard trouser guards for laundries.

The cardboard is taken from a reel which is unwound by opposing rubber rollers allowing the cardboard to feed through precisely for the flat-blanking operation, which cuts the shapes each time the cardboard advances.

As the cardboard flat blanks advance, the waste is cut off, while the flat blank is pushed onto a conveyor belt and is guided forwards for gluing followed by hot forming. The shaped cardboard tubes then pause here for a brief instant to be counted and stacked in the magazine where, once the required quantity has been reached, they are expelled from the machine ready for the operator to pick them up.

Note: The machine may be modified to start from the open cardboard flat blank instead of from a reel.

This machine, starting with a reel of cellophane, polypropylene or similar material, after various working phases produces bags.

The reel is unwound by means of opposing rubber rollers that provide a feed rate that can be set in the program.

The first phase consists in forming the tube, sealed along its length at a set width; this then arrives at the sealing unit where a crosswise seal is made and then immediately afterwards the bags are cut into lengths according to the program setting; moving along a conveyor belt the bags reach the magazine where they are subsequently stacked in the quantities required, ready for the operator to pick them up.
