Top-loading cartoner

The co. introduces the new Ascent™ robotic toping-load cartoner, which is able to reach speeds of up to 120 cartons/min. The cartoning system blends the elements of traditional cartoning with function-specific robotic devices, facilitating virtually any carton size change within the adjustment range to be produced, the co. says. It is configurable for various product shapes, orientations, layering, counts and speeds by simply changing the appropriate tooling. Product features include single horizontal magazine with a blank feeder, a blank pulldown and vacuum conveyor staging, carton forming with glued bottom, flexbot® transport, flexbot or scara robot loading, flexbot closing with glued or tuck top and a Nordson adhesive dispensing tank and guns.
