The cartons are fed in single file from the upstream machine to the system via an infeed conveyor.

On the infeed conveyor, the variable data on the carton is checked. If the data is incorrect, the TLM-F4 robot rejects the carton into a designated bin.

If the data is correct, a TLM-F4 robot takes the cartons from the infeed conveyor and transfers them onto a grouping conveyor. There, the individual cartons are pre-grouped into formations depending on the format.

The pre-glued blanks (RSC) are stored in a magazine. The TLM-F2 robot removes the blanks from the magazine and erects them. The bottom flaps are folded, sealed with adhesive tape and then placed onto the conveyor.

The carton is labeled on the side. The label is printed with variable data and serial data. A corresponding camera then verifies the data on the applied label.

A TLM-F2 robot takes the pre-grouped cartons from the grouping conveyor and places them layer by layer into the erected carton until it is completely filled. A centering frame ensures precise positioning of the cartons inside the case.

If a carton is not correctly filled (e.g. serialization error, incorrect placement, etc.), the entire carton is diverted to the rejection station. There, the carton can be manually removed from the conveyor.
