Abstract
Techniques for erecting folded-flat cases are described herein. In a first example, a grasping tool is moved along a supporting beam in two directions in a first dimension. The supporting beam is configured for movement along first and second beams two directions in a second dimension. The grasping tool is configured to grasp and open a folded-flat case. In a second example, the grasping tool is configured with a rotation arm. A rotation-control beam defines a track, within which a pin connected to the rotation arm is configured to slide. A motor drives the rotation-control beam in two directions in one dimension, to thereby rotate the grasping tool.
