APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FOLDING PAPER BOXES

摘要

A box folding apparatus (29) for folding box blanks (22) into completed boxes (24) utilises two or more separate servo systems that independently control the various actuating drive mechanisms associated with the advancing and folding of the box blanks along the production line. Certain actuating drive mechanisms to be operating at different speeds. Critical actuating motions used in the process of folding and advancing the box blanks can be performed at a different speed than other non-critical actuating motions.
