The Fuego 80 CS A2 line runs straightline and crashlock boxes up to 800x800mm at as much as 300m per min.
It uses Bobst's Computer Set, which means that the operator simply has to enter the box dimensions, or recall the saved information, leaving the Fuego's CUBE control to calculate how far, and in which direction, each carrier needs to be moved, shown via LEDs.
"All the operator then needs to do is wind the carrier in the direction shown until the LED shows them that it's in the right position," said Barber.
The family-run company supplies cartons for the food, drink and houseware industries, as well as the automotive sector.
