to the automatic adjustment of lanes
and gripping head. It also enables easy
creation of new formats directly from a
human-machine interface (HMI). The
DiviArm solution allows a smooth lane

the HMI, from format changeovers,
requiring only one manual adjustment
of the case turner at the palletizer infeed,
to the creation of new patterns.
