Carton blanks are separated and precisely fed into the system, ensuring consistent spacing and controlled movement.
High-speed servo-driven components maintain repeatable accuracy, preventing misalignment or stacking errors.

The Timed Feeder registers each blank in the X and Y axes, ensuring exact alignment for downstream processing.

Reinforcing inlets are automatically picked, aligned, and transported to match pre-registered carton blanks.
The synchronous aligning module merges carton blanks and inlets without shifting or misalignment, critical for two-part hybrid packaging.

Servo-driven placement ensures inlets are positioned within ±0.04 mm accuracy, reducing defects.

High-precision glue application modules apply controlled adhesive patterns based on carton size, shape, and inlet requirements.
Extended compression ensures optimal adhesive curing, even at high production speeds.

Real-time glue monitoring ensures proper adhesion, minimizing waste and preventing weak bonds.

Registered and secured cartons transition seamlessly to the FG 1500 Specialty Folder Gluer or third-party gluers.
The system’s modular design supports inline or standalone operation, giving manufacturers greater flexibility in high-speed packaging workflows.

Electronic gearing synchronization allows rapid changeovers with minimal downtime, ensuring compatibility across different production lines.
