ZRAY Expands OEM ODM Carton Erecting Machine Supply (NDA, Custom Branding, MOQ Tiers) for Overseas Buyers | ZRAY
Overseas distributors want to sell a carton erecting machine under their brand without a China factory. The gap is contract clarity on branding, certification and spare parts. ZRAY formalised its OEM ODM program so buyers get a signed scope, not a handshake.
OEM vs ODM Service Boundary
| Scope | OEM | ODM |
|---|---|---|
| Branding | nameplate, paint, manual | nameplate + joint design |
| Voltage / plug | per market | per market |
| Structure | none (std platform) | new gantry, frame |
| Development | none | joint dev, prototypes |
| IP | yours (brand); ours (base) | per contract |
Engagement Process
One path: requirement, NDA, 3D drawing and prototype, FAT with CPK recheck, build to BOM, ship with CE/UL.
MOQ and Lead-Time Tiers
| Tier | Scope | MOQ | Lead |
|---|---|---|---|
| OEM std | nameplate + paint | 5 | 30 days |
| OEM full | brand + manual + plug | 10 | 40 days |
| ODM co-dev | new structure | 20 + fee | 90 days |
Customization Checklist
We cover items suppliers reject: RAL paint, silk-screen or engraved LOGO, HMI (10 languages), CE/UL under your entity, and swaps such as SMC → Airtac.
Technical Specifications (Base Platform)
| Parameter | ZR-40H | ZR-25S |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 40 cartons/min | 25 cartons/min |
| Carton L / W / H | 250–550 / 200–400 / 150–500 mm | 200–500 / 150–400 / 120–450 mm |
| Power | 3.0 kW, 380 V 3-ph | 2.2 kW |
| Air | 0.5–0.6 MPa, 150 NL/min | 0.5–0.6 MPa, 95 NL/min |
Corrugated Board Range
| Board | Flute | Layers | Thickness | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single wall | B, C, E | 3 | 3.0–5.0 mm | 350–700 gsm |
| Double wall | BC, EB | 5 | 6.0–9.0 mm | 700–1,000 gsm |
| Heavy pre-creased | BC | 5 | up to 11 mm | 1,000+ gsm |
Flute runs vertically; board above 9 mm needs pre-creasing and a de-rated 30 CPM.
PLC Alarm Codes
| Code | Description | Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL-02 | Magazine empty | Low stack | Reload, set guides |
| AL-03 | Pickup miss | Worn cups, warp >5 mm | Replace cups, re-square |
| AL-07 | Safety circuit open | Guard opened | Close guard, reset relay |
| AL-09 | Air pressure low | Supply <0.4 MPa | Check FRL, drain trap |
Preventive Maintenance Schedule
| Interval | Tasks |
|---|---|
| Daily | Drain FRL; verify 0.5–0.6 MPa; clean vacuum filter; inspect cups |
| Weekly | Lubricate guides; check belt tension; clean sensors |
| Monthly | Replace vacuum filter; inspect belts; torque frame bolts |
| Quarterly | Replace cups; grease gearbox; verify PLC I/O |
| Annually | Change gearbox oil; insulation-test panel; re-level |
ODM vs Self-Developed Cost
Co-developing a gantry with ZRAY costs 30–45% of an in-house R&D team and reuses our frame know-how; trade-off is 90 days versus a 30-day catalogue OEM.
IP and Confidentiality
Every project starts with a mutual NDA; mold and fixture ownership is in contract — transferred to the buyer for ODM, retained by ZRAY for OEM. Exclusive-agency terms are per region and volume.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Inconsistent certification body — UL under our entity will not clear your market. Label compliance — plates and manuals must meet local law. Spare-parts generality — specify SMC→Airtac early, or your ZIP list will not match stock.
Support and Next Step
Our support desk keeps ODM docs and BOM history so spare parts stay available. See the company page or contact desk to start an NDA.
