Box Alignment for Robotic Loading on a Powered Roller Conveyor in Houston, TX, USA

Here is a custom designed bulk box loading station, otherwise known as a (BAD), Box Alignment Device. It positions and holds a bulk box for a high speed robot that will fill the box with 80 lb cubes.
When a bulk box is conveyed into the machine, the twin arms swing down to square up and position the front end of the box. Other air-operated mechanisms are used to lock the box in place. The conveyor is synchronized with a common drive shaft, transferred by a solid roller. Once squared in the front, the end clamps then close in on the box, pushing it to the right, to square up that side. The machine then signals the robot to start loading the box with cubes.
This is a custom-made conveyor device, (the first of many) used at a box loading application.
