Patent ID: 10286621

Abstract:
A machine (1) for making blanks (2) for boxes to measure, comprises feed means configured for realizing rectangular pieces (3) of the blank (2). Each rectangular piece (3) has a width (“La”), measured along a first edge (3a) thereof, which width (“La”) is equal to a pre-determined width (“La”) of the blank (2) and a length (“Lu”), measured along a second edge (3b) of said rectangular piece, said length (“Lu”) being preferably less than a pre-determined length (“Lu”) of the blank (2). Joining means (32) are configured for joining at least two rectangular pieces (3) or one rectangular piece (3) and a piece of an intermediate blank previously made, relative to respective first edges (3a), so as to obtain a blank exhibiting an intermediate width (“La”), which intermediate width (“La”) is equal to the pre-determined width (“La”) of the blank (2), and a length which is greater than the pre-determined length (“Lu”) of the blank (2). Cutting means (40) are configured for cutting the intermediate blank parallel to the first edges in order to obtain the blank (2).
