Traditional boxing machines can mostly only adapt to the boxing operation of sheet products of one width, and have poor versatility, and are difficult to adapt to flexible production lines for mixed production of different models. At the same time, most of such boxing machines do not have a buffer device. When the sheet product and the magazine slot are misaligned, the sheet product is easily squeezed. When the misalignment is small, although the sheet product can be forced into the magazine, the pushing force is difficult to control, and if the force is too large, the sheet product will also be damaged.
