Corrugated Box Solutions
Gluing and Inspection Solutions
Leary offers gluing and quality solutions for corrugated boxes produced on Flexo Folder Gluers. Leary’s solutions are designed to not only deliver quality boxes to your customers but to also increase throughput and reduce box spoilage. Leary’s expandable systems are designed to grow with you as your requirements change.
- Non-contact glue application
- Camera-based quality inspection
- InvisiScore liquid creasing
- UV Spray rejection
- Operator friendly controls in one interface
- Quick setup with Monet
- Improve production from startup to finished run
- Reduce waste and minimize downtime
Operators have a solution to set-up jobs quicker, run faster with confidence, and keep production moving. A large, intuitive touchscreen provides live visual confirmation of glue application and camera inspection, helping operators recognize issues quickly and maintain consistent quality throughout maximum speed runs.
Guarantee box quality with Leary’s SureSCAN Technology to account for every single product as it enters, travels through and leaves the production line to receive 100% inspection. Any product that does not conform to specified standards is rejected using host machine rejection or spray rejection for manual removal.
Controller Solutions
The MaQ+ controller for Flexo Folder Gluers is expandable based on gluing and inspection requirements. All controllers use Monet operating software designed to decrease make-ready and training time. Every box through the machine is properly glued and inspected using unique technologies built into Monet.
Box dimensions can be entered directly from the production sheet, and saved settings can be recalled by job or item number—reducing setup time, minimizing operator error, and improving consistency from shift to shift.
Precise Cold Glue Application
Leary’s non-contact extrusion gluing system is designed for accurate, repeatable adhesive application without the mess and maintenance associated with contact application methods. The system utilizes the GT51 Piston Pump and Glue Regulation Unit to deliver consistent adhesive pressure and low maintenance, with built-in maintenance alerts based on actual usage data.
Leary’s Sempre-i glue valve incorporates CleanStart tip-seal technology, covering the valve tip during machine stops to prevent glue drying on the nozzle and keep the valve ready for production. The first boxes through the machine receive accurate glue application instead of becoming startup waste, and general cleanliness around the gluing station is improved.
- Gear side or Operator side non-contact extrusion gluing
- (2), (3) or (4) Sempre-i valve configurations
- CleanStart Tip-seal technology
- Robust application system bracketry
- Line or stitch glue patterns for glue savings
- Low maintenance with 1 billion cycle rating
- Built-in water flushing for longer stops and maintenance cycles
Camera Inspection
Proactively maintaining quality delivers lasting results with reduced waste and efficient production. Add camera-based glue inspection to your box manufacturing by using LearyVIEW Flex, Leary’s latest camera inspection solution that monitors the whole area where glue should and should not be.
Immediately see inspection results on the screen to verify production quality and make real time corrections. Incorrect cutting, short sheets and scrap on the glue tab are also easily identified.
Any defective boxes can be tracked and marked using a spray rejection device to apply an invisible UV ink. Inspection images from Flex cameras are easily accessible and stored in Monet for quick access.
- Glue inspection of the entire glue joint area
- Real time images of application allow for quick on the fly adjustment
- View rejected boxes on screen for immediate feedback
- Maximize production speeds due to improved operator confidence
- Gluing only systems can be upgraded to include LearyVIEW Flex inspection in the future
InvisiScore Water Scoring
InvisiScore applies a fast-drying liquid softening solution to the scores, guaranteeing the folds follow the exact score line and not the flutes.
The system is designed to reduce problems caused by rolling scores and misaligned folds, including end-customer machine jams due to inconsistent finished boxes. Properly folded boxes with ease, increases machine run speeds and overall production efficiency.
- Straight folds and consistent gaps
- Eliminate rolling-score problems
- Prevent jams caused by misaligned folds
- Add to an existing Leary controller or as an independent system
