Features

ACCUFEED

  • Integrated BOBST blank aligner ensures blanks are perfectly straight when entering the folding-gluing process
  • Feeds all types of material
  • Pneumatic locking feature for feeding ramps which reduces feeder set-up times by up to 20% and significantly improves machine ergonomics
  • An optional automated blank aligner in combination with the Job and Recipe Management Workflow allows to further cut down setup time of the feeder

Folding

  • Easy accessibility for fast set-ups and direct control of the folding process
  • Right, left or simultaneous folding
  • Rapidly installed minimum folding device for precise and accurate folding downto 140 mm
  • Folding belt with motorized and matic speed variator for quick set-up, fastercorrection and reduction in waste

Security features

  • Light curtains and sliding doors ensure every part of the machine is secured during production, while allowing full accessibility for operators
  • A movable safety curtain protects the feeder section and automatically adapts to the blank size
  • Possibility to unblock the doors from inside the machine
  • Safety features compliant with EU rules for 2027

Matic setup functions

  • The transport equipment and calibrating shaft are set up automatically according to the job data
  • The optional automatic blank aligner and speed variators reduce the operators workload and ensure high setting precision
  • The storage of up to 5,000 job recipes in the HMI
  • The Job and Recipe Management function allows job recipes to be sent to the machine for simple download

Crash-lock module

  • Fastest set-up time in its class
  • Quick and precise - delivering a great variety of folding options, including reinforced crash-lock bottom boxes
  • Pre-breaks large boxes and provides a location for additional devices
  • Telescopic upper conveyors easily adjustable to box formats

ACCUEJECT XL

  • Easily set flipper-ejector device, able to eject a single faulty box
  • Automatically ejects non-standard boxes up to 35 mm thickness at full running speed
  • Ensures a high quality production while simultaneously reducing waste and costs

Completely Modular

  • Equipped with independent drives, every module remains independent, which allows to resume production downstream in case of an unexpected machine stop
  • Choice of modules according to production requirements
  • The modular design allows for future machine upgrades and support growing business needs

Accessible and practical

  • All machine parts are easily accessible
  • Light curtains and sliding doors make sure that operators are safe
  • Video monitoring at the feeder section allows complete production overview
  • Two rechargeable remote controls guarantee constant availability
  • Command panels on the front and back of every module reduce operator movement and shorten reaction times
  • The slow‑down function lowers the machine speed to 5 m/min so changes canbe made without a full stop

4- & 6-corner equipment

  • Dedicated module for easier set-up and more folding space, allowing a wider range of variants to be run
  • HMI SPHERE controlled with automated positioning and remote control
  • Modulated trajectory hooks for smooth and precise folding
  • Quick set-up tilting frame adjusts to flap size

Transfer and delivery

  • Matic positioning of transfer and delivery save up to 15 minutes setup time
  • Automatic belt tensioning and adjustable box stream height
  • Infeed conveyor for better control and higher running speeds
  • Rear stack corrector ensures better consistency and less waste
  • Independent drive for fast job changeover
  • Automatic apron centering

Ensuring quality and efficiency

  • Operating speed up to 250 m/min
  • Crease-relief device for more natural, smooth and precise folding and easy box opening
  • The 6,790 mm long folding section ensures progressive and precise folding
  • Delivery box stream regulator for precise intervals, higher quality and faster running

Increased cost-efficiency

  • Direct driving with smaller and more efficient synchronous servo motors
  • The new drives reduce electricity consumption and ensure the complete modularity of each machine part
  • Energy Monitoring allows to control the air and electricity consumption of the machine and identify eventual energy saving measures
