Description:
UPACK Horizontal Case erectors is China's first fully automatic horizontal case opener featuring one-touch switching between carton specifications.
Applications:
Horizontal case erectors, due to their opening direction, are particularly suitable for the following assembly line layouts:
Back-end connection to automatic case packers: After case erection, products are pushed, loaded, or dropped into the case horizontally.
Suitable for heavier or products difficult to place vertically: such as bottled water, cooking oil, industrial parts, etc.
Industries: Widely used across all sectors employing corrugated cardboard boxes as outer packaging, including food and beverage, daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, hardware, logistics, and express delivery.
Specifications:
| Components | Functional Description |
| Frame and Body | The device's support structure, typically constructed from sandblasted carbon steel or stainless steel, ensures stability and durability. |
| Carton Storage Rack | A platform for storing flat carton blanks, featuring automatic lifting or compensation functionality to maintain a consistent box retrieval position. |
| Carton Retrieval and Opening Mechanism | The core actuator assembly, comprising a vacuum generator, suction cups, and pneumatic cylinders, reliably picks up and opens cartons. |
| Forming and Alignment Device | Adjustable-height guide rails and molds ensure the carton is formed into a precise rectangular prism, which is key to guaranteeing forming quality. |
| Fold-Bottom Cover Mechanism | A series of precision-engineered mechanical guide rods, folding arms, or belts sequentially complete the folding of the four bottom flaps. |
| Tape Sealing System | Includes a tape dispenser, feed rollers, cutter, and pressure roller to achieve automatic tape feeding, application, cutting, and smoothing. |
| Drive and Transmission System | Servo motors or stepper motors are typically employed, integrated with precision transmission components (such as synchronous belts and ball screws), to control each action cycle and conveying speed. |
| Electrical Control System | The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) serves as the central brain, receiving sensor signals and coordinating all movements. The Human-Machine Interface (touchscreen) facilitates parameter settings, operation, and monitoring. |
| Pneumatic System | Power supply for actuators like suction cups and cylinders, including air preparation components (filters, pressure regulators, lubricators) and solenoid valves. |
| Sensor System | Sensors are deployed at critical stations—such as photoelectric sensors detecting carton presence and positioning, and proximity switches monitoring cylinder strokes—to ensure comprehensive monitoring throughout the process. |
Competitive Advantage:
High Efficiency: Achieves speeds of 10-25 boxes per minute, significantly faster than manual box opening, enabling continuous operation.
High Stability: Features a mature mechanical structure and precise PLC control with low failure rates, ideal for extended high-volume production runs.
Labor Savings: Completely replaces repetitive manual tasks such as box retrieval, opening, bottom folding, and sealing.
High standardization: Ensures consistent box dimensions and secure, aesthetically pleasing sealing, enhancing product packaging image.
Flexible adjustability: Quickly switches between different box sizes within minutes via manual crank or electric adjustment, accommodating multi-product production.
Easy integration: Serves as a core unit in automated packaging lines, seamlessly connecting with automatic case packers, weighing machines, inkjet printers, strapping machines, and more.
