- Box Forming
After the box blank arrives at the carton forming station, it is detected by the photoelectric eye first, and the photoelectric eye feeds back a signal to the PLC.
Then, the PLC sends a command, the other two vacuum suction cups absorb the box blank and generate a reverse pulling force on the box blank, and the two reverse pulling forces erect the box blank into a square shape.
