A converting machine used to convert fanfold material into packaging templates for assembly into boxes or other packaging, the converting machine comprising:
a frame;
a converting assembly cartridge selectively mounted on the frame, the converting assembly cartridge comprising:
at least one longitudinal converting tool that performs one or more conversion functions on said fanfold material in a first, longitudinal direction, wherein the at least one longitudinal converting tool is configured to perform one or more conversion functions on said fanfold material, the one or more conversion functions being selected from the group consisting of creasing, bending, folding, perforating, cutting, and scoring, to create said packaging template;
at least one transverse converting tool that performs one or more conversion functions on said fanfold material in a second, transverse direction that is generally perpendicular to the first, longitudinal direction, wherein the at least one transverse converting tool is configured to perform one or more conversion functions on said fanfold material, the one or more conversion functions being selected from the group consisting of creasing, bending, folding, perforating, cutting, and scoring, to create said packaging template; and
one or more feed rollers that move said fanfold material through said converting machine in the first, longitudinal direction,
wherein the converting assembly cartridge, including the longitudinal and transverse converting tools and the one or more feed rollers, is selectively removable as a single unit from the frame; and
an infeed guide mounted on the frame, wherein the infeed guide directs said fanfold material into said converting assembly cartridge. |
