"Thanks to the Kolbus AB300, it has allowed us to achieve savings in labour and purchase of tooling for the manufacture of small orders, as well as special designs and low-volume boxes. Another favorable point of the machine is that we can add many style codes thanks to its computer setup time, which allows the operator to load an order in 2 to 5 minutes."

BX Motion Pro
The BX Motion Pro is the radical new shortrun boxmaking system that brings previously undreamt of levels productivity and efficiency to your boxmaking process. Re-designed from the ground up, using close to 50 years Autobox boxmaking experience, you will benefit from groundbreaking new automation, set times and all in one functionality.
Almost every feature of the BX Motion Pro is set up automatically whilst also being individually controlled for bespoke settings. A typical set time for a single out sheet remains at just 60 seconds. Set times to achieve 3 out across the width are done in a unique way allowing for a set up within a matter of minutes.
Crease wheels, slitting knives, diecut stations, digital print heads, slotting knives and hold down carriers are set up using the HMI interface.
The modular design empowers you to make customised single & double wall boxes as standard. The robust construction of the BX Motion Pro is of such that it can also convert the heaviest triple wall materials too with selectable converting tools to suit this application.
