There is provided a system for handling and creasing cardboard, as well as sub-systems of said system. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Claims20
A cardboard-handling system comprising:
- a controller;
- a rule-die associated to a first drum and a counter die associated to a second drum;
- a cardboard-alignmentor on a first side of the rule-die and counter-die;
- a synchronized-cardboard transferors;
- and
- a cardboard-fix-relative-position conveyor;
- wherein the cardboard-alignmentor aligns and conveys a cardboard together with one or more synchronized-cardboard transferors toward the cardboard-fix-relative-position conveyor that transfers the cardboard toward and through a junction between the rule-die and the counter die to a second side of the rule-die and counter-die, and the controller synchronizes the movement of the cardboard along the cardboard-handling system.

- the cardboard-handling system further comprising a supportive stacker that comprises:
- a conveyor comprising a plurality of openings;
- a dynamic-size holder comprising:
- a plurality of openings at a portion of the dynamic-size holder's surface;
- a vacuum chamber;
- and
- a piston mechanism;
- wherein the conveyor is associated to the dynamic-size holder's surface;
- and
- wherein the piston mechanism is adjusted along the dynamic-size holder according to parameters of a cardboard that was obtained from the cardboard-handling system's module preceding the supportive stacker, to reveal at least some of the openings at the portion of the dynamic-size holder's surface to a vacuum by the vacuum chamber that couples the cardboard to at least some of the openings of the conveyor, whereby the cardboard is moved from the cardboard-handling system's module preceding place to a stack.
