The Line

Finished board to shipped pallet, in one flow.

Every stage below is a system we supply, integrate, and service — so the whole end-of-line answers to a single partner.

#line .line-grid{grid-template-columns:repeat(4,1fr)}@media(max-width:820px){#line .line-grid{grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr}}
01

Square

Four-corner squaring trues the stack on every side, so each strap lands tight and even.

02

Bundle

Squared boxes are strapped into uniform bundles with consistency.

03

Unitize

Unitized Loads are strapped by our patented performance TOSA interchangeable SONIC or Friction Weld Heads and PET strapping via standard drop in replacement coils or our UJ coils with up to 150,000′ per roll to eliminate up to 16 hours of downtime per month.

04

Wrap & Ship

Units stretch-wrapped, inline or offline — strapped, wrapped and ready for shipment.

Strapping Systems

Squared, strapped, and shippable.

Servo-driven strapping and four-corner squaring engineered for the volume and uptime demands of a corrugated plant.

Automatic Strapping

Straps the bundle, at line speed.

The TPS Optimus is a Mitsubishi servo-driven automatic strapping machine built for corrugated — Mitsubishi PLC + HMI controls, heat-weld sealing, and a reinforced build engineered for continuous, high-volume runs at the lowest cost of ownership.

  • Servo feed & tensionMitsubishi servo drives deliver consistent, repeatable strap placement and tension.
  • Heat-weld sealingStrong, reliable welds every cycle without over-engineered complexity.
  • PLC + HMI controlFull-color touch-screen controls with time- and date-stamped diagnostics.
Up to 30 bundles/minServoHeat-weldPLC + HMI

Four-Corner Squaring

Perfectly aligned, every bundle.

The TPS Optimus 4CS pairs high-speed strapping with a reinforced four-corner squaring system — pneumatic side-squaring and front-stop units true up each bundle on all four corners so every strap lands on a consistent, uniform load.

  • Four-corner squaringReinforced squaring system for perfectly aligned, dimensionally uniform bundles.
  • Powered roller conveyorDriven rollers keep product moving at production speed through the cell.
  • Auto-feed & loop-ejectHands-free strap handling with recipe storage for fast job changes.

Upstream Squaring Bundle

A turnkey, fully automatic line.

The TPS 3-CS is a powered roller conveyor with three-sided upstream squaring and a fixed back stop. Paired with the Optimus strapping machine, it completes a fully automatic bundling line — squaring upstream so every bundle arrives perfectly positioned for the strap.

  • 3-sided upstream squaringPneumatic side plates and a fixed back stop true up each bundle before strapping.
  • Powered driven-roller conveyorFeeds squared, uniform bundles directly into the Optimus at line speed.
  • Bundled systemOptimus strapping machine + 3-CS squaring conveyor as one integrated line.
