Abstract

Known packaging machines are only able to package objects in a limited number of arrangements usually limited to a single pack type. The present invention provides a packaging machine (100) comprising a robotic blank manipulator (116) capable of manipulating packaging blanks so as to substantially package at least one object. The robotic blank manipulator (116) is disposed above an article transfer apparatus (108). A first end support (118) is coupled to a second end support (120) by a first guide shaft arrangement (122) and a second guide shaft arrangement (124), the first and second guide shaft arrangements (122, 124) being parallel with respect to each other. In an embodiment the article transfer apparatus comprises an electromagnet to engage an article or plurality of articles in which case the article(s) should be placed on a plate formed from material, which is capable of being moved by magnetic attraction to the electromagnet.
