BOXmaker ULTRA Features and Modules
Control unit
The 21-inch HD touchscreen offers intuitive control with preloaded FEFCO standards and up to 3000 stored models. It allows automatic or manual operation, job recall, and remote diagnostics. Industry 4.0 integration provides real-time monitoring and smart-factory connectivity.
Slotting knives
Two 500 mm segmented knives automatically adjust via the control panel. Made from hardened steel alloy, they deliver long-term durability even when cutting high-density (1400 GSM) boards. An integrated transversal creasing tool enables slotting and scoring in one precise step.
Circular Knives and Creasing wheels
Six circular blades and four creasing wheels are independently controlled for perfect cutting and folding accuracy. Optional perforation tools allow flexible production of different box types. All tools can be replaced quickly without extra equipment, reducing downtime.
Cross cutting module
The servo-driven cross-cut unit makes transversal cuts anywhere on the sheet, supporting pallet boxes, windows and flaps. Together with longitudinal knives it replaces many die-cut operations for rectangular shapes. Quick-change perforation options enhance versatility.
Printing module
Single-color flexo printing up to 1000 × 870 mm for transport markings and branding. Automatically set via the main unit, it supports dual clichés and precise positioning. Manual tasks are limited to cliché replacement (6.35 mm thick) and roller cleaning.
Nordson gluing module
A servo-controlled cold-gluing system operating at speeds up to 1 m/s. It applies glue lines or dots anywhere across the sheet with up to two nozzles. The Nordson technology ensures clean, precise application, supporting both standard FEFCO and custom packaging formats in a single production cycle.
Die-cut module
Digitally positioned die-cut press (120 × 160 mm) for handholes and custom shapes. Automatic setup through the control unit simplifies alignment. With 5200 N of force, it handles complex cuts without manual adjustments or tool repositioning.
