<p>A packaging program (10) includes a cushioning conversion machine (12) which converts a stock material into a cushioning product or pad (14), a transitional zone (16) and a process controller (20) which controls the number of pads produced and their respective lengths. The cushioning conversion machine may include a length measuring device (22) for accurately measuring the length of a pad being produced and a pad-transferring assembly (24) for transferring the pads from the conversion assemblies (50, 52, 54, 56) of the cushioning conversion machine to the transitional zone. The transitional zone may be a slide with its slide direction oriented perpendicular to the discharge direction of the cushioning conversion machine to conserve space and orderly arrange the produced pads.</p> |
