Automated CR80 Card Feeding & Attaching System

Automated CR80 Card Feeding & Attaching System

Description

The BES Card Attaching Line from Brunel Engineering Services is a fully automated system designed to accurately feed, glue, and attach CR80 cards onto backing cards for packaging, promotional, and fulfilment applications.

Combining precision friction feeding technology with vacuum conveyor transport and controlled adhesive application, the BES Card Attaching Line delivers consistent, high-speed production with exceptional placement accuracy and reliability.

Designed for continuous industrial operation, the system is ideal for manufacturers, fulfilment companies, direct mail operations, and packaging providers looking to automate card attachment processes while improving production efficiency and reducing labour costs.


System Overview

The BES Card Attaching Line consists of:

  • 2 metre long x 500mm wide vacuum transport conveyor (Other Vacuum Conveyor Sizes Availible)
  • 2 x MFT friction feeders
  • Integrated igluetech glue application system
  • Product transfer shingle conveyor

The automated process begins with the first MFT friction feeder feeding backing cards onto the vacuum conveyor. The conveyor securely transports the backing cards beneath the glue application head where adhesive is precisely applied.

A second MFT friction feeder then feeds CR80 cards directly onto the adhesive area of the backing card with accurate positioning and repeatability. Once completed, the assembled card pack transfers automatically onto a shingle conveyor ready for the next production stage.


Key Features

Precision Vacuum Transport Conveyor

The heavy-duty vacuum conveyor maintains accurate product positioning throughout the production process for consistent adhesive application and card placement.

Dual MFT Friction Feeders

Two integrated MFT friction feeders provide reliable feeding of both backing cards and CR80 cards with excellent separation and feeding consistency.

Accurate Glue Application

The integrated glue application system delivers controlled adhesive placement for clean, secure bonding with minimal adhesive waste.

Automated Card Placement

High positional accuracy ensures CR80 cards are consistently attached in the correct location on every product.

Shingle Conveyor Transfer

Completed products are automatically transferred onto a shingle conveyor for easy downstream processing or packing operations.

Industrial Build Quality

Manufactured using robust industrial components for long-term reliability in demanding production environments.
