From a simple box to a complex six-pack:
Baumer hhs has the right solution to meet your needs.
You can rely on it!
Folding cartons are getting more complex all the time. And it’s no wonder, considering they
have to support high-quality product presentation, protect what’s inside, serve as carriers
and be as sustainable as possible. These multiple functions put growing demands on
gluing and quality assurance systems. This is why Baumer hhs offers customers its
modular Xtend3 controller, a sophisticated and powerful system for even the most
challenging of these technical requirements: It is the industry benchmark.

Baumer hhs is your partner. Our systems can be adapted

to your individual needs. Benefit from our technology
lead and Baumer hhs’s reputation for reliability.

• Modular design for configuring complete

gluing- and quality assurance systems
• Easily integrated in existing folder-gluers
• Future-oriented and cost-efficient
• Everything you need from a single supplier
• We can prepare your team for tomorrow

And if you need support, we’ll be at your site in no time.

Our staff is also available via our telephone hotline, or direct
remote on your system. That’s what we call good service.

Adhesive application systems

Cold glue
Electromagnetic heads from Baumer hhs ensure perfect adhesive
application every time. These low-maintenance heads are leaders in
overall performance. The latest-generation pumps go easy on the glue
with their dual piston technology, maintaining ideal adhesive pressure
at every production speed. Perfection in day-to-day production.

Hot melt
Electromagnetic or electropneumatic heads from Baumer hhs for the non-
contact application of hot melt adhesives at maximum speed. The Xmelt
hot melt units are particularly energy efficient. Equipped with a two-zone
tank, they melt only as much glue as the process needs at any given time.
Everything at a glance: Record,
document and analyse data
Production statistics
Data exchange with higher-level systems offers entirely new possibilities
throughout the process data acquisition (PDA) system. Baumer hhs deliv-
ers relevant production data in a detailed report to your higher-level data
systems. The statistics provided by the Baumer hhs systems give users a
sound basis for adapting and optimising their processes.

Production report
A production report is generated from the production data and defect
images stored by the system – digital verification for your customers of
the quality of your process.

Innovative controllers
Baumer hhs supplies advanced technologies to meet all customer needs.
All our controllers are equipped with the same innovative and intuitive
user interface – from the Xact to the Xtend3.

Quality assurance
Glue detection
Whether you work with cold glue or hot melt, the innovative sensors from
Baumer hhs reliably detect even the smallest quantities of glue.

Reading and evaluating codes

Specialised sensors identify codes and compare them with a master
to guarantee maximum reliability in production. Baumer hhs sensors
understand all the common codes, such as colour, Pharmacode, UPC or
data matrix.

Camera verification systems

Camera systems, adapted to the requirements of your application, verify
glue or codes, or monitor the condition of your products.

Ejecting defective products

Quality monitoring is fully integrated in the system, guaranteeing auto-
matic product tracking and reliable ejection of defective products from the
production process.

Fail-safe principle
Products only leave the machine after the very last sensor has given its
OK. That’s reliability you can count on!
Overview of the Baumer hhs system modules
Gluing, quality assurance and process control – all integrated in one system
The more complex a manufacturing process becomes, the more
important it is for all the individual modules to be fully integrated
in the system and work together perfectly – which of course
can best be achieved when they all come from a single supplier:
Baumer hhs offers you a system concept with individual modules
designed to interact flawlessly.
Gluing
Cold glue
A dispersion adhesive is used because it
penetrates the paper fibres, ensuring long-
term bond integrity. The durable application
heads from Baumer hhs guarantee maximum
reliability in production and minimum mainte-
nance. Whether dot or bead application is
used, even the smallest quantities of glue are
applied with maximum precision.
• PX 1000 – the premium application head, fast and precise
• P 500 – the benchmark
• DLK go – efficient and low-cost
• DPP 8 – glue delivery unit with double-piston technology
Hot melt
Hot melt adhesives typically offer very fast
setting times and can be used to join even
difficult materials like films and coated paper-
board grades. For special-purpose designs,
they are also used in combination with disper-
sion adhesives to achieve rapid initial bond-
ing. Nothing slips out of place or can open
before the cold glue has a chance to set. Easy
to integrate for a smooth production process.
• aerto - the power pack among hot melt application heads
Precise application even with difficult adhesives
• tesla - the electro-magnetic hotmelt application heads without
compressed air
• Xmelt - energy-efficient and gentle melting of adhesives
Every function is integrated: from gluing and quality control,
to the central controllers and production statistics. With this
modular concept, Baumer hhs can supply you with exactly the
right system to meet your needs.
Controllers and data
The controllers from Baumer hhs are the heart
of any system, whether you are just applying
glue or configuring complex applications that
include quality monitoring and camera solu-
tions. Production data and statistics help you
keep your process under control at all times,
and they can be shared via an interface with
higher-level systems. Baumer hhs provides you
with the right solution, so you can supply your
own customers with perfect products.
• Xact – controller for adhesive application for up to four channels and
300 m/min
• Xpect – adhesive application and quality control for up to eight
channels and 650 m/min
• Xtend³ – modular controller for all requirements
Xcam: Camera solutions for every
application
The Xcam systems handle a variety of monitor-
ing tasks and can visualize and inspect complex
gluing processes. They also monitor back-folded
flaps, check edges and perform object verifica-
tion. All of these functions are integrated in the
intuitively operated Xtend3 controller and are
easy to set up with just one click. A reporting
function and an option for analysing defect
images are naturally also included.

Baumer hhs sets no limits
on the possibilities open to customers
No matter what kind of products you have in mind: The systems from
Baumer hhs for manufacturing folding cartons ensure process reliability,
even with the most complex products – and at the highest required
machine speeds.

Straight-line boxes
The straight-line box is the most common product in the
folding carton industry. In most cases, high volumes of
these boxes are produced at maximum machine speed.
With Baumer hhs, you can rely on end-to-end monitoring
of your production process. Product mix-ups and incorrectly
glued joints are reliably identified and ejected.

Six-packs and special designs

Six-packs and other special designs put complex demands on
gluing. For example, the adhesive may have to be applied by 16 or
more application heads at several stations in a single folder-gluer.

High-tech folding mechanisms require precision dot application as

well as monitoring equipment capable of reliably detecting even the
smallest deviations. The Xcam camera equipment monitors all glue
tracks and prevents the risk of inside gluing. Baumer hhs systems
solve problems before you even identify them. Monitors adhesive
