Folding box production by cut=out forming

摘要

Each of the preferably three magazines (10a-c) of the charging device (6) takes box cutouts (3-5) which together produce a whole box when the cutouts are addressed to a folding arm and associated folding mould. The magazines are moved at right angles to the general conveying direction by means of three mutually parallel conveying units, each completed by gluing facilities on the two outermost units. The cutouts are fed onto their folding arm by a suction gripper for each of the two outermost conveying units. The gripper move a quarter turn at right angles to the conveying sense and are equipped with a strap reverser. Each magazine receives cutouts of one size and printing which when fed up to the arm and its folding and gluing system make up a complete box. The centre magazine (10b) dispenses a box centre part as against the outermost magazines (10a,10c) which furnish the ends of the box product.
