Endoline Machinery has recently provided Numatic International LTD with innovative technical solutions to assist with their increased production output.
The British manufacturer of cleaning equipment purchased an Endoline 407 machine from the Biggleswade based packaging company almost 15 years ago. Testament to the longevity of Endoline machines this original 407 random case closer/gluer system ran successfully so when faced with an increase in production output the existing machine was refurbished and Numatic also acquired a second 407 machine.
Endoline 407 machines can accept random case sizes so a new conveyor system was installed to feed Numatic cases into either of the two Endoline 407 machines. The decision was made to run the highest volume product, the well-known Henry vacuum cleaner, into the existing 407 machine while all other products would be fed into the new 407 machine. Due to the high variety of these products the machine would require constant height adjustments. To meet this need Endoline fitted the conveyor system with optical sensors to detect an identifying patch which is on the bottom of each box. This identifying patch signals which machine each box should be fed into, in addition any variations in box height are read by the case gluer on entry to the machine and the height adjusted accordingly.
