Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1762375A2] A tabletop converter (30) has a conversion assembly that inwardly gathers and crumples a stock material (32) to form a strip (34) of dunnage. The conversion assembly includes a feeding assembly (54) that moves the stock material and a controller (60) that controls the feeding assembly to operate in both a forward direction and a reverse direction. To automatically separate a discrete dunnage product from the strip, a holder (164) grabs and holds the strip of dunnage at a holding location downstream of the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly then operates in a reverse direction and urges the strip away from the holding location. This causes the strip to separate at or between the holding location and the feeding assembly, leaving a discrete dunnage product ready for use. The converter is mounted to a stand (40) that allows the converter to rotate relative to part of the stand about both a horizontal axis and a vertical axis.
