Unprecedented Efficiency and Economy

Offering maximum flexibility and adaptability for rapidly changing product life cycles, the Invex IM performs to meet production demands.

Stage Push – a horizontal collation process used for handling cartons when vertical stacking is not required.

Pick and Place – Ideal for products such as tapered cups that cannot be pushed one against the other. We use a variety of vacuum or mechanical techniques specific to application requirements.

Up stacker, down stacker – an easy and cost effective method of vertically stacking cartons at lower case rates

 

Automated changeovers offer dramatic improvements to line efficiencies and reduce operator errors.

• Servo motors are readily programmed with excellent capability to adapt to changes and adjustments.
• Fast, repeatable changeovers and simple adjustments when products or materials vary slightly.
• Smooth, quite operation reduces component wear for lower maintenance cost.
• On-board diagnostics provide simple troubleshooting from the HMI.
• PackML – and PackTags – ready with standards-based connectivity
• Pre-programmed recipes provide automatic changeover of all servo functions and machine timing

Intelligent, precise case blank and product control during the loading process ensures consistent reliable production.

Precisely automated servo control ensures case blank and product loading are executed consistently and reliably for your full range of pack patterns, products and speeds. From case flap folding, to squaring, to compression and gluing, critical operations are precisely automated according to your pre-set recipes, ensuring more efficient, reliable production and faster, easier changeovers.

Case and Tray Blank Control – A main contributor to increased efficiency and speed is the ability to control and fold case and tray blanks.  The Invex IM avoids the use of air cylinders that can bind or degrade over time resulting in variable timing, velocity, and position.  Its positive servo driven drive system precisely controls case setup, case flap control, the funneling of product during loading, case flap tucking and folding (no plows), case squaring, and the compression and sealing of flaps

Case Squaring – Four corner case control squares the leading and trailing walls of the case just prior to case sealing and compression. Again, positive control of the case squaring guarantees a quality package.
