Introduction
With the rapid development of the modern logistics and packaging industry, the appearance of carton packaging machines has greatly improved packaging efficiency and quality. The sticking device is a key component that determines whether there will be quality problems during the final transportation of the carton.
This article will take you to understand the function of the pasting device on the packaging machine production line; let’s take a look together.
1. What is a gluing device?
Sticking device The sticking device refers to the device used in carton packaging to fold larger cardboard into small flat cardboard and fix them together. It is a key component in the carton packaging machine, and its main function is to process the raw materials. , and packs them automatically; it uses an adhesive to bond the folded edges of the cardboard together to form a stable carton structure.
2. The composition of the gluing device
The gluing device usually consists of the following main components:
- Adhesive Head:
The adhesive head is the heart of the application unit and is responsible for evenly applying adhesive to the folded edges of the carton.
- Adhesive Supply Systems:
Adhesive supply systems are used to store and supply adhesive, usually glue or hot melt.
- Folding device:
This part is mainly to turn the cardboard up and down and fold it for bonding.
- Transmission system:
The transmission system drives the movement of the bonding head so that it can perform bonding operations in the correct position. The transmission system usually consists of a motor, a reducer, and a transmission.
- Control system:
The control system is used to monitor and control the operation of the bonding device to ensure the correct bonding process and save the use of adhesive.
3. Work steps
The working steps of the gluing device usually include the following processes:
Carton conveying: the carton enters the working area of the pasting device through the conveying system.
Adhesive supply: Adhesive is supplied to the bonding head according to the set program and parameters.
Bonding operation: The bonding head applies adhesive evenly to the folded edges of the carton, ensuring a strong bond.
Detection and adjustment: Pasting devices are usually equipped with sensors and control systems to detect the position of the carton and the quality of bonding and make necessary adjustments and corrections.
Gluing complete: After the gluing operation is completed, the carton continues to move through the conveyor system to the next packaging link.
4. Working principle
The working principle of the gluing device is based on the synergy of the control system and the drive system. The control system receives the signal from the sensor, monitors the position of the carton and the bonding quality, and controls the operation of the transmission system according to the preset program and parameters. The drive system drives the movement of the adhesive head to apply adhesive to the folded edge of the carton at the correct position. The bonding head is usually adjustable to accommodate cartons of different sizes and shapes.
5. So, is the traditional gluing device or the gluing device better?
Compared with traditional manual pasting, the gluing device has the following advantages:
- Improve efficiency:
The pasting device can complete the bonding of cartons at a faster speed and with higher precision, which greatly improves packaging efficiency. In contrast, manual pasting is usually slow and susceptible to human factors.
- Reduce labor cost:
The automation feature of the pasting device can reduce the need for manual operation and reduce labor costs. Manual pasting requires the hiring and training of specialized workers to operate.
- Improved Quality and Consistency:
The sticking unit can complete the bonding process with high precision and consistency, ensuring the quality and stability of the carton. In contrast, manual pasting is prone to errors and inconsistencies, which affect the quality of packaging.
Conclusion
Compared with manual pasting, the pasting device has the advantages of improving efficiency, reducing labor costs, and improving quality consistency; with the continuous development of automation technology, the pasting device will further improve packaging efficiency and quality and bring greater convenience and benefits to the logistics and packaging industries.
