CUT 1405 – Intermittent Horizontal Cartoning Machine

Innovations open up new possibilitiesWith the CUT 1405, Bosch Packaging Technology intro-duces an innovative solution for secondary packaging that adds a new facet to its product portfolio.

The CUT 1405 intermittent cartoning machine is a consistent advancement of the successful CUT 120, which has proven its worth over many years. The new horizontal cartoning machine’s most impressive features are its especially economic design, maximum flexibility, superb ergonomics and ease of use, as well as the latest servo and safety technology.

The CUT 1405 is distinguished by offering great flexibility in choosing appropriate in-feed systems, formats and closure options. It can easily adapt to different carton sizes, securely and gently packing a wide variety of primary packaging – such as bottles, vials, syringes, ampules, tubes, blisters, and trays, as well as bags, stick packs, and sachets in folding cartons.

Combination products and package inserts, such as spoons or outserts, can also be integrated as needed into the modular in-feed system. Equipped with the appropriate in-feed systems, the new Bosch cartoning machine can be flexibly adapted to handle all packaging materials for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foods.

Maximum product protection and operating convenience

The CUT 1405 offers unique conveyor technology in the folding carton magazine. A lifting motion prevents the cartons from getting snagged as they are transported into the magazine. Exceptional care is taken in handling products and cartons, providing for superior results. This is made possible by the patented folding carton carrier, which conveys the individual cartons through the intermittent transport system and ensures dimensional stability.

Items are fed in by a mechanical gripper arm that is directly assigned to the respective product. A shift register inspects and tracks the products. This process ensures that

processing of the items continues only if the overall inspection results are positive. Due to the excellent accessibility, the folder unit can be conveniently operated from the front and swings out forwards if required, such as when changing formats or correcting malfunctions.

Minimum service requirements, maximum safety

With fewer hardware components in the control cabin, the new servo technology reduces the need for service, while the HMI (Human Machine Interface) enables easy operation. Malfunctions can be quickly pinpointed based on error messages and easily rectified by means of the automatic trouble- shooting guide. All format data is

individually stored, enabling quick and easy format changeovers that can be accomplished reproducibly, simply, and quickly, assuring a safe and reliable restarting of the machine.

Line proficiency

The CUT 1405 can be equipped with various in-feed systems. This enables the greatest possible flexibility for customer-specific line concepts and the packaging of a diverse range of products and product combinations.

Additional safety is ensured by optional serialization, aggregation, and tamper-evident modules that comply with current guidelines and safety standards.
