INTRODUCTION The Autobox HIPAK 2675 Boxmaker is a sophisticated machine for conversion of various corrugated board grades into cartons. It is designed for conversion of all grades of single-wall corrugated and up to 300K/300T AA double-wall. The Boxmaker utilises a powerful PC with colour touch-screen to reduce the effort of calculation and set-up time to a minimum.
DISMANTLING If for any reason, the machine has to be dismantled or removed, full details of the correct procedure may be obtained by contacting The Technical Department at Autobox Limited. Under no circumstances must a person dismantle the machine without instructions being...

RATING PLATE The rating plate, fitted to the end panel, displays Model number, Serial number, manufacturer contact details, power requirements, etc. This information will be required by Autobox in the event of any enquiry concerning service or spare parts.
MAIN MENU This will appear when the machine is first started. Return to Main Menu at any time by touching the ‘Menu’ button or the ‘Back’ button TO MAKE A NEW BOX Touch ‘Make New Box’ in menu. Touch required box style or ‘menu’ to go back Select variant where available Touch ***** to enter dimensions and numeric keypad will appear on screen...
SCREENS The ‘Run’ screen is displayed while making boxes. It displays the time and date, the box style being made and the number made. It also allows the operator to select several options including; save the current box to memory, check the dimensions entered, adjust the throughput speed or return to the ‘Main Menu’.

SAVING BOXES INTO MEMORY Touching ‘Save’ will allow the current box to be entered into the memory for future use. The virtual alpha-numeric keyboard can be used to give each box a code, or name, for identification. MEMORY The memory can be accessed via the main menu or from other screens by touching the button.
FEEDING IN THE BLANKS. The blanks (already cut to the correct size) must be fed into the machine held gently against the left-hand guide to keep them square and must have the inside of the box (the test or liner) facing up. The right-hand guide is provided to help keep the blanks square. This should be locked in place leaving 1 or 2mm clear to allow the blanks to slide freely into the machine.
TO MAKE FLIP TOP BOXES. Enter dimensions as for other box styles but note the following: The flip top flap is 75mm when the height is 60mm or less. When the height is over 60mm, the flap will be 125% of the height. Minimum length is 155mm. The flip-top box is measured as shown.
USING THE AUTO FEEDER (IF FITTED) The automated sheet feeder fitted to your HIPAK consists of a free-standing board support, as well as the gates, guides and roller assembly on the front table-top. To operate the feeder, first cut the blanks to size and set up the machine guide and moving blade as described in the previous pages.
Hipak 2675/2670 Calibration procedure As with any electro-mechanical machine, the electronics and mechanics have to be synchronised to gain maximum performance and accuracy. The following are instructions for calibrating a Hipak machine with ‘Generation 7’ touch screen control system. This should normally only be carried out when the machine is first built but, following servicing, repairs or software upgrades, some further calibration may become necessary.

‘Move Test’ This is normally only used by Autobox engineers to check encoder calibration. Touch ‘Switch Controller Off’ and push a suitable length of board into the machine. Select ‘Board Encoder’ or ‘Motor Encoder’. Select suitable Move Distance, Accel/Decel rate and Board Speed (Nominal 50%).
‘Change Password’ This enables the owner to enter a password of personal choice. Any personal password must be made available to Autobox engineers when needed. ‘Select Motor’ This enables the drive system to be configured to operate with an alternate motor.
TROUBLESHOOTING In the unlikely event that your boxmaker does not operate as expected please check the following: BOARD NOT ACCEPTED BY MACHINE. Check that you have fully programmed machine and it is showing a ‘READY’ prompt. Check that dust or particles of board are not obstructing the light sensors. If this is suspected then, from ‘Main Menu’...
MAINTENANCE Normal housekeeping procedures should be employed to keep the machine clean and dry. Some basic adjustments and maintenance procedures are detailed in the following pages. DAILY: Purge the machine of dust using a suitable vacuum cleaner around the blade and sensor area or blow out with an airline if safe to do so.
SENSORS Two optical sensors are fitted to the machine to detect the corrugated board entering and leaving the machine. The sensor consists of a 24Vdc amplifier unit with digital display, mounted at the top left corner of the machine, and a fibre-optic cable that is mounted such that the end of the cable ‘sees’...
