CARTON HANDLING

From flat blank pickup to filled carton transfer, our EOAT solutions cover every stage of automated carton handling for European packaging facilities.
Who Uses Carton Handling Automation

The Operations That Live and Die by the Case

If your product ships in a carton, somewhere on your line a robot should be forming, filling, or moving that carton. These are the operations we build for.

Food and beverage case packing

Erecting and packing retail cases at line speed without crushing corners or jamming blanks.

Consumer packaged goods

Multiple carton formats on one line, handled by tooling that changes over in a program selection.

Pharmaceutical secondary packaging

Precise carton forming and placement where every unit has to be identical and traceable.

Contract packagers and co-packers

Constantly changing jobs and formats that demand flexible carton tooling, not dedicated machines.

Appliance and hard goods

Larger, heavier cartons moved reliably by lightweight tooling that leaves payload for the product.

Logistics and palletizing

Case handling and palletizing cells at the end of the line, running around the clock.

THE CHALLENGE

Carton Handling That Keeps Up With Your Line

Carton handling is one of the most demanding tasks in packaging automation. Flat blanks must be picked reliably from a stack, opened without tearing, and positioned precisely for filling, sealing, or labeling, all at speeds that manual operations simply cannot match.

Anubis Robotic Tooling supplies carton erecting and handling EOAT that handles these challenges with modular, lightweight designs that integrate seamlessly into any packaging cell across Europe.

SLS 3D printed nylon tooling cuts end of arm weight, so your robot cycles faster or handles larger cartons.

Erecting without a dedicated machine

The Automatic Carton Erector turns one robot into a carton forming cell, saving floor space and capital.

Format changes in software

Switch carton sizes with a program selection instead of a mechanical changeover on the line.

Fits any robot brand

Mounting options for FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots, Omron, and other major platforms, cobot or industrial.

Complete handling range

From flat blank pickup with vacuum grippers to filled case transfer and palletizing, one supplier covers the line.
