Feeding system type AFS 200 for loading folding carton box magazines
The feeding system type AFS 200 is designed for the automatic opening of a shipping carton, removing flat-lying folding boxes and inserting them into a cartoning machine magazine. The empty cardboard box will be disposed by means of a chute. The feeding of loaded shipping cartons closed with adhesive tape can selectively be executed manually by means of a conveyor belt or automatically by means of a de-palletizing cell. A clamping gripper controlled by a 6-axis robot takes each single line of folding carton boxes whereby the clamping move is torque-controlled. By application of individually adjustable connection elements, the system can be applied at nearly all cartoning machines existing on the market. Due to its compact construction with cell placement on top of the cartoning machine, the space requirement is kept to a minimum.
