Also known as the Universal Box Cutter, or UBC, this machine has been developed to remove the need for operators to manually open boxes or cartons using knives.
The UBC uses vision technology to scan the box and determine its size and shape. Information is then passed to the robot to make adjustments to the cut profile, on the fly, without the need for operator intervention.
It is capable of cutting box straps and bands, and adapts automatically to handle damaged boxes.
Previously known as H&C Universal Box Cutter, these were originally developed by Haden & Custance (H&C), which is now part of MHM Automation.
While many other companies provide solutions to putting product into packaging, we are specialists in removing packaging from product ready for further processing.
