Abstract

A cartoner system for picking and placing multiple articles into a single container with the system including one embodiment with a first arm with a pick-up head movable from a first pick-up position to a second carton drop-off position, and a second arm with a pick-up head movable from the same article pick-up position to a second carton drop-off position, with the second arm movable in conjunction with said first arm, so that when pick-up head on the second arm is in the first position picking up a second article, the pick-up head on the first arm is dropping the first article into a container. The cartoner system includes a mechanical drive which maintains conveyors and pickup heads in a synchronous relationship whether the system is speeded up or slowed down.
