Automatic machine for packaging products inside containers
First Claim
1. Automatic machine for packaging products inside containers or cartons (11), of the type comprising a plurality of stations (15-21, 21A, 21B, 21C, 23-28) in a line (13), at each of which at least one operation to package the products is performed, by means of actuators (AT, AT1, AT2 . . . ), starting from at least one blank, which is collected from a magazine (12), conveyed to a loading station (15) and transferred, according to a pre-established route (10), from one station to the next, before being unloaded at specific reject (27) or storage (28) stations, characterised in that said actuators (AT, AT1, AT2 . . . ) are managed by an electronic axes control system, which automatically regulates their positioning and movements, on the basis of information relevant to at least one dimension (A, B, C) of said carton (11), which is set by an operator (OP) on an electronic processor (PC) of said axes control system, in order to allow the format of said carton (11) to be changed from a pre-established minimum value to a maximum value of the overall dimensions automatically and in extremely short times, compared with the known technique.
