A box making machinery and a corrugated board running register method, include a feeding unit, a processing apparatus which carries out processing on a corrugated board, a running register device which adjusts the processing position of the processing device in a carrying direction of the corrugated board, and a control device which controls the running register device, wherein the control device includes a carrying misalignment amount calculation unit which calculates the carrying misalignment amount of the corrugated board from the feeding unit to a preset predetermined carrying position, and a control unit which adjusts the processing position of the corrugated board to be processed next using the running register device on the basis of the carrying misalignment amount after processing of the corrugated board has finished.

A corrugated plastic box and a method for manufacturing a corrugated plastic box from a blank are provided. The method includes the steps of forming rounded edge seals on the perimeter edges of the blank, pre-sealing portions of the blank to form a plurality of areas in which major and minor flap slots and a glue tab are desired, ultrasonically scoring the blank to form a plurality of flap score lines, and cutting the blank through the plurality of pre-sealed flap slots and glue tab, leaving a sealed edge.

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.

The unit for forming a plate element (2) for the continuous flow manufacturing of folding boxes (CA1, CA2) from plate elements (3), the plate elements (3) being successively inserted into the unit (2) and moving in a feed direction (FD), comprising pairs of rotary cylindrical shafts (2001-2031, 200.sub.2-203.sub.2), carrying forming tooling, which forms the plate elements (4) using slitting, creasing and cutting operations, comprising a cutting unit (21), and pairs of rotary cylindrical shafts (200.sub.1-203.sub.1, 200.sub.2-203.sub.2),

A machine and a method to carry out workings on a sheet of a sufficiently rigid material is suitable to make containers. The machine includes a transverse working head guided by a first transverse guide member, one or more longitudinal working heads, each selectively positionable in a desired transverse position, guided by at least a second transverse guide member parallel to the first transverse guide member; and positioning mechanism configured to cooperate with each longitudinal working head in order to selectively position it in the desired transverse position.

A cardboard box dividing device includes lower conveyors on which a plurality of connected cardboard box bodies are stacked and transported; an upstream side positioning member and a downstream side positioning member movable along a transport direction and a thickness direction of each connected cardboard box body in upstream and downstream portions of the lower conveyors; a positioning drive device capable of independently moving the upstream side positioning member and the downstream side positioning member; a pressing device pressing, from above, the plurality of connected cardboard box bodies stacked on the lower conveyors; a cutting knife disposed along a width direction of the connected cardboard box body and dividing the plurality of connected cardboard box bodies stacked on the lower conveyors into a front part and a rear part; and a lifting/lowering device relatively moving the plurality of connected cardboard box bodies and the cutting knife along an up-down direction.

A printing platform includes a printing engine with one or more printheads arranged such that the ink drops are jetted vertically upwards against the action of gravity; and a substrate transportation system where the normal to the surface in contact with the substrate is parallel and with opposite direction to the travelling direction of the jetted ink drops. It is necessary to counteract the weight of the substrate during the printing process to avoid it from falling under the action of gravity. This is achieved through any of a mechanical element that interferes with the falling of the substrate and that keeps it in place; or a system that generates adhesion forces between the element that transmits the motion to the substrate, typically a conveyor belt, and the substrate through the action of electrostatic forces, an air pressure differential between both faces of the substrate, or any other suitable mechanism.

A cutting unit for cutting preparation features in a web of sheetlike material is provided. The cutting unit has a first part with a rigid base portion, at least one first cutting tool configured to cut a first preparation feature in the web of sheetlike material, and at least one second cutting tool configured to cut a second preparation feature in the web of sheetlike material. The at least one first and second cutting tools are attached to the base portion and located at a distance from each other, wherein at least one of the at least one first or second cutting tools is supported by a flexible support that is located in the rigid base portion of the first part.

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.

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.
