The new Baseline tray erector from OYSTAR A+F, shown here as a sin-gle-head machine, can process cartons with maximum base dimensions of 200 x 400 mm at a height of up to 150 mm. A stamp ensures that the internal dimensions remain precise after the first fold.

Thursday 07. May 2009 - OYSTAR A+F presents its new baseline tray erector with 100 percent folding accuracy

With the Baseline, OYSTAR A+F is intro-ducing a servo-controlled tray erector that features a number of technical innovations. Thanks to its modular design, the machine can operate as a freestanding unit or be integrated with downstream packaging machines. OYSTAR A+F is a company of the OYSTAR. The Process & Packaging Group, headquartered in Stutensee, Ger-many.
The modular design allows the Baseline to be configured as a single-head or dual-head machine, enabling it to process up to 76 cartons per minute. The machine is capable of handling trays with base dimensions of 200 x 300 to 400 mm and a height of 40 to 150 mm. In order to achieve 100% accuracy in repeated folding movements, a stamp is used to ensure pre-cise internal dimensions after the first fold.
By consistently using adjustment options, the need for interchange parts can be kept to a minimum. The machine features a number of ball bearing folding elements, which means that a central lubrication system is not necessary – thus cutting maintenance costs for the user.
Due to its modular design, it can be configured as a standalone machine or alternatively integrated with downstream OYSTAR A+F packaging ma-chines, such as the Setline Multipack. This helps keep interfaces and ma-terials handling components to a minimum.
As with all of OYSTAR A+F’s machines, the Baseline tray erector is suit-able for use in wet environments. This is made possible by using pre-dominantly rustproof materials. All servo drives are equipped with abso-lute value transmitters, which means that reference runs are not neces-sary even after downtime; it takes just a short time for the machine to be ready for operation again. The machine is operated using a Siemens Touchpanel TP 270, which also contains all of the programs required for servicing and maintenance.
