ABOUT AXIOM IM

High-Speed, Customized Case & Tray Packing

The Axiom intermittent motion case and tray packer is the industry-proven workhorse for high-speed, customizable case packing, operating at 45–60 cases per minute with servo-driven precision. Its modular, open-frame design allows for extensive infeed and loading customization, making it the ideal choice for complex pack patterns, wraparound cases, and knockdown designs. Unlike robotic-only solutions, Axiom IM integrates both servo and mechanical innovations to maximize efficiency, flexibility, and reliability. With quick-changeover capabilities and exceptional tolerance for case variability, it excels in demanding, high-volume production environments where speed and adaptability are critical.
