Ease of operation

directly leads to machine performance and production
  • Intermittent motion machine indexing of cartons.
    • Allows the operator to concentrate on the product quality and presentation as the infeed bucket (for Automatic Load machines) or the carton is always made ready for loading at the loading or transfer station.
  • Load-side carton flaps opened at the load station.
    • The operator actions are kept to a minimum simply placing product onto the load table and sliding it in to the waiting carton. No manipulation of the product required to push carton dust flaps out of the way.
  • Safety Light curtain and product load check (Only on Hand load PC40).
    • This feature is all about safety and operator/machine performance.
    • The operator actions are kept to a minimum, simply place the product onto the load table and sliding it in to the waiting carton.
    • The load check sensor will automatically cycle the machine while the safety light curtain keeps the operator safe by delaying the machine cycle until safe to do so.
  • Colour Touch screen (keeps the operator updated with the machine status) Black buttons along the bottom of the screen open new pages of information for machine monitoring and settings
    • “Status” line indicates the machine condition (to ensure rapid machine restarts)
      • “Homing” on start-up, “Running”, “Stopped”
      • Guard door mapping “status” indicates which guard door is open
      • Emergency Stop indication.
      • Machine fault conditions in the event of a motor overload.
      • Low air indication and machine lock out.
      • Inkjet status input, will not allow the machine to start if the inkjet is not ready. This can be overridden when no inkjet is fitted or required.
      • Glue at temperature will not allow the machine to start if the glue system is not ready. This can be overridden for machine testing
