Machine Layout

Notes

Sequence of Operation:


An operator loads tray blanks vertically into the gravity magazine. A mechanical driven arm extends to the tray blank and vacuum cups pick and place tray to horizontal position. A mechanical walking beam indexes tray past the glue guns, which apply a glue bead to the tray tabs. The glue application is controlled by feedback from the encoder attached to the A/C motor. After passing the glue heads, the walking beam pushes the flat tray blank into an exclusive Combi designed motorized forming mandrel, thus forming the tray by folding the tabs and compressing the sidewalls. The formed tray can exit the HTF in any of 3 discharge directions, accommodating most any layout.
