Abstract. The rubber glove packing machine had been designed an important function which worked with folding carton. Each folded paper carton would be pulled to be erected by vacuum cups. Some carton could not completely form because of an unsuitable design of the erector. Cartons were collapsed or buckling while pulled by vacuum cups that cause to sudden stop the packing process and affect to number and cost of rubber glove production. This research aimed to use simulation method to erect the folded carton. Finite element (FE) model of the rubber glove carton was created with shell elements. The orthotropic material properties were employed to specify FE model for analysis erection behavior of the folding carton. Vacuum cups number, positions and rotation points were simulated until obtained a good situation of the folding carton erector. Subsequently, finite element analysis results will be used to fabricate erector of the rubber glove packing machine in a further work.

The introduction of legislation to minimize packaging waste requires consumer goods manufacturers to use lighter-weight materials and increase the use of recycled materials. This is demanding that machinery manufacturers provide highly fl exible machines and tooling capable of handling these materials and new package designs. However, the ability of manufacturers to achieve this is all but prevented by a lack of fundamental understanding of machine-material interactions and an ability to generate such understanding. One way to overcome this is to use advanced simulation tools to represent the whole system including machine, process, materials and product.A fi nite element-based simulation has been created to represent the in-process behaviour of a packing system. The simulation focuses on the critical transition between fl attened and erected states of a carton. In order to successfully simulate such a complex process, there are a number of major challenges concerning the representation of packaging materials and their properties, changing material behaviour during processing, machinery simulation and process modelling (simulating the interfacial interactions that take place during processing).The application of the whole-system simulation for the purposes of improved design and operation are discussed with respect to four activities: design and setup of tooling, determination of optimal process settings, specifi cation of material properties and the design of the pack. In all cases, a strong correlation was observed between the theoretical results and those obtained practically, thereby enabling quantitative understanding and quantitative rules to be generated.

Experimental and numerical performance of corrugated fibreboard at different orientations under four‐point bending test

This paper presents experimental work, finite element (FE) model, and analytical solution for predicting the four‐point bending on C‐flute corrugated fibreboard (CFB) when oriented at different angles. The angles of the CFB samples used in this research study were 0° (cross‐machine direction) and 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° (machine direction). The CFB was assumed as an orthotropic shell element in the FE model and was validated by comparing the bending stiffness, maximum bending force, and failure formation from the experimental test. It was found in the experiment that the 90° sample had the highest bending stiffness with the lowest maximum bending force while the 0° sample had the opposite. An interesting finding was that the 30° and 45° samples improve the bending stiffness than does 0° without significantly affecting the maximum bending force. Both the FE model and analytical solution predicted the bending stiffness trend of the board from 0° to 90° with good agreement compared with experimental results. The maximum bending force in the FE model showed reasonable agreement with the experimental findings. The failure regions on the samples showed similar patterns in both experiments and the FE model. The accurate response in the FE model justify that it is a good tool to predict the bending behaviour of CFB.
