BRILLIANTLY DESIGNED
FOR MULTITASKING

AUTOMATIC CARTON ERECTORS

Our next-generation solution revolutionizes an age-old process. The Automatic Carton Erectors (ACE) tool lineup is specifically designed to utilize robots and cobots instead of relying on large, standalone folding machines. Combined with our Carton Folding Frame (CFF), these tools efficiently transform flat boxes into bottom-sealed cases. Elegantly engineered in two versions, a single-purpose tool for carton erecting and a dual-purpose tool that also functions as a gripping end-effector for pick-and-place operations, both options come in multiple sizes with varying levels of vacuum lifting force to suit a wide range of applications. Compact, lightweight, affordable, versatile, and cobot-friendly, our carton-erecting end-of-arm tools offer an optimized solution for diverse packaging environments.
