How to Operate a Fully Automatic Rigid Box Forming Machine

1. Pre-Operation Preparation

Before starting the machine, ensure everything is safe and ready for production:

2. Step-by-Step Operation Guide (Watch Box Forming Focus)

2.1 Power On & Machine Initialization

• Press the main power button on the control panel and wait for the machine to boot up (30-60 seconds).  

• The touchscreen will display the “Initialization Complete” prompt—confirm to enter the operation interface (compatible with the watch box machine’s intelligent control system).  

• Check the glue heating system: Set the temperature to 160-180°C (ideal for watch box material bonding) and wait for it to reach the target (indicated by a green light).

2.2 Set Production Parameters

Use the touchscreen to input parameters tailored to watch box dimensions and material:

2.3 Load Materials

• Place pre-cut rigid board sheets into the automatic feeding tray—align them with the guide rails to ensure straight feeding (the watch box machine’s auto-alignment feature will fine-tune positioning).  

• Load hot-melt glue sticks into the glue hopper (fill to 80% capacity to avoid frequent refills).  

• Confirm the glue nozzles are clean and aligned with the board’s bonding areas (critical for watch box corner precision).

2.4 Start Production

• Press the “Auto Start” button on the control panel— the machine will begin feeding, gluing, forming, and ejecting finished watch boxes.  

• Monitor the first 5-10 boxes to check quality:

• Ensure corners are square and tightly bonded (no glue overflow or loose edges).  

• Verify box dimensions match your settings (use a ruler to measure length/width/height).  

• Check for scratches or deformations on the box surface (adjust forming pressure if needed).  

• If quality is satisfactory, let the machine run continuously—refill materials (board/glue) as needed without stopping production.

2.5 Post-Production Shutdown

• When production is complete, press the “Auto Stop” button and wait for the machine to finish remaining tasks (30 seconds).  

• Turn off the main power and air supply.  

• Clean the machine:

• Wipe glue nozzles with a heat-resistant cloth (while slightly warm) to remove excess glue.  

• Clear the conveyor belt and forming area of paper scraps or glue residue.  

• Store unused rigid board and glue in a dry, clean area.  
• Log production data (number of boxes made, any issues) for future reference.

3. Safety & Efficiency Tips

3.1 Critical Safety Rules

• Wear cut-resistant gloves and safety goggles during operation—protects against sharp board edges and glue splatters.  

• Never reach into the feeding, gluing, or forming zones while the machine is running—use the emergency stop button if jams occur.  

• Do not bypass safety guards or disable sensors—violates safety standards and risks severe injury.  

• Train only authorized operators to use the machine—avoid untrained staff handling the equipment.

3.2 Efficiency Boosters

• Batch similar watch box sizes together to reduce parameter adjustment time.  

• Keep extra glue sticks and pre-cut board nearby for quick refills.  

• Schedule daily cleaning (10 minutes) to prevent glue buildup and extend machine lifespan.  
• Use the machine’s “Memory Function” to save frequently used parameters (e.g., standard watch box sizes) for one-click setup.

4. FAQ

Q1: What if the machine jams during production?

Press the emergency stop button immediately. Turn off power, clear the jammed board (use tools, not hands), and check for misaligned guides or debris. Restart and test with a small batch before resuming full production.

Q2: How do I adjust parameters for different watch box sizes?

On the touchscreen, select “New Program,” enter the new dimensions, and adjust glue amount/speed accordingly. Save the program for future use—no need to re-enter settings.

Q3: Can this machine handle materials other than watch box board?

Yes—the Fully Automatic Watch Box Forming Machine works with 1-3mm thick rigid board, grey board, or premium cardboard. Adjust glue temperature and pressure for different material thicknesses.

5. Conclusion

Operating a fully automatic rigid box forming machine is simple with proper preparation and step-by-step execution. By following pre-operation checks, setting precise parameters (tailored to watch boxes or other premium packaging), and prioritizing safety, you’ll achieve consistent, high-quality results. The machine’s automation reduces labor costs and boosts efficiency—perfect for luxury packaging businesses.
