    摘要: An automated packaging system for automated collating, stacking and transferring long cut retail edge marker strips exiting a roll fed high speed slitter/perforator/cutter apparatus includes a series of angled and stepped baffles configured to receive the cut retail edge marking strips and allow them to fall into and accumulate in bins formed by each angled baffle and then be removed from each bin consecutively by an automated pusher acting orthogonally to the bins to move and collate the retail edge markers into a final stack collated to meet a specific store planogram requirement. An automated transfer unit moves the final stack downstream for further packaging, which may include automated banding and loading of the final stack into an empty container for shipment to the store having the specific planogram requirement.

    摘要: A box packing apparatus includes a transport unit configured to transport a group of articles arranged in a state in which at least some of the articles overlap with each other to a predetermined position, a holding unit configured to hold a cardboard box having an opening with long sides and short sides, and a transfer unit configured to transfer the group of articles from the predetermined position into the cardboard box. The holding unit can hold the cardboard box in a first posture in which the long side is located downward and the opening is directed laterally. The transfer unit transfers the group of articles in a state in which rows of the group of articles are arranged in a row along the long side of the cardboard box.

    摘要: A headboard includes a first headboard, a second headboard, a third headboard, and a fourth headboard. The first headboard includes a first panel and a first accommodating groove formed on a back of the first panel. The second headboard is detachably connected to the first headboard and includes a second panel and a second accommodating groove formed on a back of the second panel. The third headboard is detachably connected to one side of the first headboard and/or the second headboard. The third headboard defines a third accommodating groove. The fourth headboard is detachably connected to the other side of the first headboard and/or the second headboard. A size of the first accommodating groove is same as a size of the second accommodating groove. A size of the third headboard is mirror-symmetrical to a size of the fourth headboard.

    摘要: A system and method for bundling wood includes a bin portion collecting logs that drop off a conveyor platform in a transverse orientation relative to a direction of travel. A first sensor detects each log as it drops, forming a stack, and a control module maintains a running count of the logs in the stack. A hatch automatically opens and simultaneously drops a stack of logs therethrough based on the running count, e.g., based on the running count equaling a preselected number. A second sensor above the bin portion measures a distance from the second sensor to the stack. The hatch automatically opens to drop the stack therethrough to a lower bin in response to the running count reaching the preselected number of logs and/or the distance reaching a predetermined distance. A third sensor positioned adjacent a lower hatch in the lower bin automatically closes the hatch when blocked by the stack.
