Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1707488A1] An apparatus (20) for packaging an object (P), the apparatus (20) having an adjustable infeed bed (40) to center the object (P) before a nipping operation. The packaging apparatus (20) includes a pair of opposing rollers (70,72) and an adjustable infeed bed (40). The pair of opposing rollers (70,72) pushes together sheets of packaging material against each other and the object or product (P) to be package. In order to accommodate objects of various heights, the infeed bed (40) is adjustable so as to line up the center of the object to the center of the rollers (70,72). To determine the proper adjustment to the infeed bed, the packaging apparatus (20) may also include a height detector (76) for measuring a height dimension for an object.
