SF3103 AUTOMATIC STEEL STRIP EDGE-WRAPPING MACHINE — For Nailless Plywood Boxes · 3-4 m/min · Siemens + Yaskawa

Wrap galvanized steel strip smoothly around plywood corners — the reinforced folding edges that hold nailless plywood export boxes together and let them fold flat for return shipping.

Siemens ST40 PLC · Taiwan IEI industrial computer (thousands of stored production sizes) · Yaskawa (Japan) 1 kW servo · 10 × Pepperl+Fuchs (Germany) sensors · Korean Autonix encoder · Hydromax + YUKEN + Shenyu hydraulic stack.

- 3-4 m/min continuous edge wrapping, single-operator

- 10 pressing rollers ensure even, tight edge wrap

- 39-42.5 mm flexible steel-strip width — one machine, multiple strip specs

- Dual voltage: 220V or 380V, no reconfiguration needed

- Video outgoing-inspection + machinery test report on every unit

SF3103 completes the HICAS nailless plywood box product family — three purpose-built machines that share the same premium component architecture:

• SF3302 — produces the double-hole steel-strip frames that form the box structure (~500 boxes/shift for 500×500 mm)
• SF3103 (this machine) — wraps the steel strip around the plywood corners for reinforced folding edges (3-4 m/min continuous)
• SF3204 — produces the male + female buckles that lock the folded box shut (32 buckles/min)

All three run on Siemens PLC + Yaskawa (Japan) servo + Pepperl+Fuchs (Germany) sensors + Hydromax/YUKEN/Shenyu hydraulic architecture — a consistent premium component stack. Together they support producers of nailless, foldable plywood boxes — the growing standard in premium export packaging for machinery, electronics, chemicals and high-value cargo.

1.10 PRESSING ROLLERS FOR EDGE-PERFECT WRAP: Ten rollers press the steel strip evenly onto the plywood corner — no bulges, no gaps, no rework. Ready to fasten downstream every meter.

2.HIGHEST SENSOR COUNT IN THE FAMILY: 10 × Pepperl+Fuchs (Germany) sensors — the most instrumented machine in the HICAS nailless-box product family. Continuous in-line verification of strip position and roller state.

3.SIEMENS ST40 + TAIWAN IEI INDUSTRIAL COMPUTER: The IEI industrial computer stores thousands of production sizes — recall a customer spec in seconds instead of manual setup.

4.YASKAWA (JAPAN) 1 kW SERVO: Japanese servo precision drives strip positioning — the same premium servo brand European premium machine builders specify.

5.KOREAN AUTONIX ROTARY ENCODER: Precise length metering ensures the strip is cut at the exact wrap length, every cycle.

6.SIMPLE, LOW-MAINTENANCE STRUCTURE: A stable, uncomplicated mechanical structure means low ongoing maintenance cost — no fragile sub-systems that break down under continuous shift use.

7.VIDEO INSPECTION BEFORE SHIPMENT: Every SF3103 ships with a video outgoing-inspection and a machinery test report — you see the machine running before it leaves our floor.

Manual or outsourced edge wrapping means slow throughput, inconsistent finish and dependency on external suppliers. SF3103 lets you wrap in-house at 3-4 m/min — with Yaskawa precision, 10-sensor verification and video-verified shipment quality.

What this means for you:

• Bring edge wrapping in-house — cut supply cost and lead time on peak orders
• Consistent, tight edge wrap on every plywood corner
• Recall thousands of stored production sizes — reset in seconds
• Video-verified quality before the machine even leaves our floor
• Same premium component stack as SF3302 and SF3204 — one training, one spare-parts logic across your nailless-box line

We don't publish website equipment prices because configuration (teeth mold, strip size) affects final cost. Customized quotation within 24 hours.

Voltage Compatibility

Standard dual voltage: 220V or 380V, 50Hz, 3-phase — no reconfiguration required for most European, Asian and Latin American markets. Other voltages configurable on request.

Proven in European Markets

Delivered to nailless-plywood-box producers in Germany, Italy and Poland — with 18+ reviews from German customers specifically praising structural stability, running consistency and installation simplicity. HICAS wood-packaging machinery is trusted across 26+ countries worldwide.

Q: What does the SF3103 do?

A: It wraps galvanized steel strip around the plywood corners of nailless foldable boxes — the reinforced edges that let the box fold flat for return shipping and hold the box together in use.

Q: How fast is it?

A: 3-4 m/min continuous wrapping speed, single-operator.

Q: What box sizes can it handle?

A: Applicable box size 100 × 100 mm to 5,000 × 5,000 mm — small cases to large export boxes.

Q: What steel strip does it use?

A: SGCC galvanized steel strip, width 39-42.5 mm × thickness 0.6-0.7 mm (flexible range, tolerance ±0.05 mm) — covering multiple strip specs on one machine.

Q: What plywood thickness does it handle?

A: Two tooth mold options — 9.5 mm teeth for 5-10 mm plywood, or 11.5 mm teeth for 7-12 mm plywood. Market-popular 6 mm / 9 mm tooth options are also available.

Q: What control system does it use?

A: Siemens ST40 PLC, with a Taiwan IEI industrial computer that stores thousands of production sizes for instant recipe recall.

Q: What sensors are fitted?

A: 10 × Pepperl+Fuchs (Germany) precision sensors — the most sensor-rich machine in the HICAS nailless-box family — plus a Korean Autonix rotary encoder for precise length metering.

Q: What voltage does it use?

A: Dual voltage as standard: 220V or 380V, 50Hz, 3-phase — no reconfiguration for most markets.

Q: Do you inspect the machine before shipment?

A: Yes — every SF3103 ships with a video outgoing-inspection and a full machinery test report, so you see the machine running before it leaves our floor.

Q: How does SF3103 fit with SF3302 and SF3204?

A: SF3302 makes the steel-strip frames; SF3103 wraps steel strip around plywood corners; SF3204 makes the male + female buckles that lock the box shut. Together the three form a complete nailless-plywood-box workflow with consistent premium components.

Q: What payment terms do you accept?

A: 30% T/T deposit, LC at sight, and SINOSURE export credit insurance.
