What is carton forming machine?
Carton forming machine is a special equipment that automatically completes the opening, forming, lower bottom leaf folding and bending, and now completes the lower part of the tape pasting, opens the box board stacked into cardboard, the bottom of the box is folded according to a certain procedure and sealed with tape and then conveyed to the carton loading machine. It is also known as
carton box opener.
Composition of carton forming machine
Carton molding machine mainly consists of
box-loading mechanism, main frame, vacuum suction box, main drive, box board lifting mechanism, rocker arm box-conveyor mechanism, box-opening mechanism, height-adjusting mechanism, carton short-side folding mechanism, carton long-side closure and rectification mechanism, box-pushing toggle, carton guideway, compaction ram and hot-melt adhesive system, pneumatic control system, electric control system, and so on.
Working principle of carton forming machine
Carton box forming machine mainly consists of vertical storage cardboard, an automatic forming device, a folding bottom device, and a sealing bottom device. The operator only needs to place the cardboard in the vertical storage and then start the machine. The machine will automatically pick up the cardboard and carry out the forming, bottom folding, and sealing, the whole process realizes one-time synchronous forming. In addition, the machine can manually adjust the carton specifications to suit different packaging needs.
a. The gluing part includes two parts: one is the pressure roller (composed of upper and lower parts), and the other is the scraper (also called guide plate).
b. The bonding section is the key equipment to complete the whole process.
c. The pressing section is the actuator to complete the whole process, which is mainly composed of pressure rollers and rollers.
d. The outfeed section is mainly the part that handles the products that have been shaped.
Working process of carton forming machine
a. The suction box device is driven by the servo motor through the synchronous belt wheel to drive the ball screw vice for horizontal reciprocating motion when the suction cup contacts the front plane of the box blank, the suction cup produces a vacuum under the action of the vacuum generator, and instantly sucks a piece of the box blank, and then the servo motor reverses, and the suction box device returns, and in the process of returning, the box blank is initially unfolded into shape.
b. The front and rear folding covers are closed into a horizontal shape at an angle of 90° under the action of the folding mechanism.
c. The left and right folding cover is folded by the left and right folding cover lever mechanism and the carton pushing mechanism at the same time.
d. The left and right folding cover is closed by the left and right folding lever mechanism and pushing box mechanism at the same time, the left and right blades of the carton are closed and sent to the sealing mechanism to seal the bottom of the tape, and so the cycle is repeated.
