A cutting waste removing device, installed in a box making machine for manufacturing corrugated cardboard boxes from a corrugated cardboard sheet, to remove cutting waste generated in a cutting process performed by a paper discharging unit of the box making machine, is provided with an air blowing device which is disposed along a travel region in a device width direction, through which cut processed portions of the corrugated cardboard sheet and the cutting waste travel, and which ejects air toward the cutting waste in such a way as to include a vertically downward directional component in a prescribed ejection mode, and a control device for performing intermittent on-off control of the operation of the air blowing device, wherein the control device controls the air blowing device to be on only at a timing at which the cutting waste passes through an air ejection region of the air blowing device.

A converting machine is used to convert sheet material into packaging templates for assembly into boxes or other packaging. The converting machine includes a converting assembly that performs transverse conversion functions and longitudinal conversion functions on the sheet material to create the packaging templates. A fanfold crease sensing mechanism detects the presence and location of fanfold creases in the sheet material. Based on the location of the fanfold creases, the fanfold creases are either cut out of the sheet material, or the sheet material is cut to adjust the position of the fanfold crease in a packaging template.

This production machine diagnosing system and method, box making machine, and remote monitoring system include a data collecting unit for collecting operation data of a plurality of drive devices, and a diagnosing unit for detecting an abnormality on the basis of the operation data of the plurality of drive devices collected by the data collecting unit, wherein the diagnosing unit comprises: a first diagnosing unit which, when a first drive device among the plurality of drive devices, for driving an apparatus that conveys a sheet, is driven, detects an abnormality on the basis of the operation data of the first drive device; and a second diagnosing unit which, when a second drive device other than the first drive device, among the plurality of drive devices, is driven, detects an abnormality on the basis of the operation data of the second drive device.

Disclosed is a corrugated paperboard box making machine 1 in which a slotter device 6 comprises: a first slotter unit 61 comprising a first slotter 610, a first stationary blade 612 and a first displaceable blade 613; and a second slotter unit 62 comprising a second slotter 620, a second stationary blade 622 and a second displaceable blade 623. A control device 100 is operable to switch the slotter device 6 between a first production mode and a second production mode. Specifically, the control device 100 is operable, when implementing the second production mode, to acquire and store a total blade length of the first stationary blade 612 and the first displaceable blade 613 and a total blade length of the second stationary blade 622 and the second displaceable blade 623, and perform positioning control for the slotter blades, based on the stored total blade lengths.

A system that converts sheet material into packaging templates includes a converting assembly that performs conversion functions, such as cutting, creasing, and scoring, on the sheet material as the sheet material moves through the converting machine in a first direction. The converting assembly may be mounted on a frame such that the converting assembly is elevated above a support surface. One or more longhead converting tools performs conversion functions on the sheet material in a first direction and a crosshead converting tool performs conversion functions on the sheet material in a second direction in order to create packaging templates.

Machine to work a relatively rigid material, which comprises a plurality of operating units (20a, 20b) to work the relatively rigid material.

The invention relates to an apparatus (10, 80) and method (160) for cutting, printing or embossing a continuous sheet (26) of material. The apparatus (10, 80) comprising a tool element (12), at least two anvils 14, 16 which are co-operable with the tool element (12), and a phase adjustment device (24). The tool element (12) is configured to have a constant surface speed during operation of the apparatus (10, 80). The apparatus (10, 80) is adapted to receive the continuous sheet (26) at a constant speed into the apparatus (10, 80), and being adapted to output the continuous sheet (26) at a constant speed from the apparatus (10, 80). The phase adjustment device (24) is operable to adjust a speed of the continuous sheet (26) within the apparatus (10, 80) in order to adjust a phase of alternate parts of the continuous sheet (26) to be cut, printed or embossed by each anvil (14, 16) as it co-operates with the tool element (12).

A cutting-die creasing apparatus includes anchors that together with crease members allow for the quick exchange or replacement of crease members on a die-cutting board. The creasing apparatus does not require fasteners such as nails or staples, nor does it require adhesives or other adherents to attach the crease members to the board and to maintain the structural integrity of the overall system. The creasing apparatus also maintains a more consistent geometric alignment due to the anchor being located via the initial geometrically located cut into the die board as opposed to surface mounted creasing systems, the location of which may vary dependent on how it is applied. The system also provides for a wide variety of designs that can be customized and produced to fit specific applications.

The invention relates to converting machine (10) for producing flat-packed or folding of boxes (1) from sheets (1), the converting machine being configured to transport the sheets in a direction of transportation (T). The converting machine comprises a first printing module (16) configured to print on one of a first side and a second side of the sheet (1) and a die-cutting module (18) comprising a tool-holder cylinder configured to connect to a die-cutting tool and a counter-cylinder, the die-cutting module being configured to apply cut lines to the first side of the sheet. The machine further comprises a separate scoring module (19) having a scoring tool configured to apply crease lines on a second side of the sheet.
