A machine designed to place mesh and cardboard covers on wooden boxes using hot glue.
Covers are placed one by one, as the machine has a carriage that moves the cover from the device to the work area and a gripper that positions it over the box.
How it works
Boxes arrive on a conveyor from the packaging area. Boxes enter the work area via pneumatic stops, so they arrive one by one. In the process whereby the box enters the work area, glue guns place hot glue on the side of the box for the subsequent gluing of the cover.
Covers are transferred from storage to the main gripper via a carriage with suction pads that moves horizontally.
After transferring the cover to the main gripper, the horizontal carriage moves back, allowing the gripper to lower and position the cover. With the pressure of the gripper clamps, the cover sticks on the previously glued box.
