CoBo-Stack Automatic Palletizer

The MBO CoBo-Stack is a completely automatic collaborative robot needing no protective cage. Stacks of folded signatures, are transported from an automated delivery to a proper pattern on a pallet, reducing the physical demands of the operator. While the CoBo-Stack attends to the delivery, the operator has time to carry out other tasks such as quality control, feeder loading or preparing the next job. Now it is possible to have 1 operator running 2 machines in a true manufacturing cell. The CoBo-Stack truly fits the new print market demanding high productivity with minimal labor and set up time.

Highlights:

Cobot design for safety so no protective cage is needed
Eliminates labor on the back end of the folder
Short makeready using a simple menu from a hand held tablet device
Allows operation model of 2 machines with 1 operator in appropriate application
Pallets can be placed on both sides of the CoBo-Stack allowing uninterrupted production
Optical and acoustical signals show various operating statuses
Can be used on any brand folding machine
Works in conjunction with Palamides alpha series stacking deliveries
RAS Remote Access Router included
Mobile design so it can be used on multiple machines in the facility

Recent Innovations:

Stacking height increase up to 140 cm (55“) achieved by a height-adjustable robot arm, reducing pallet quantity and saving time and money
For A/B split, double stream production it is now possible to alternately stack both pallets at the same time
New stacking pattern for 10 piles
Stacking Continuance: To continue stacking on a pallet that has already been started, simply enter the actual height of the started pallet and go
Deposits two signatures on one pallet
XS gripper enables an even wider range of paper formats
Increased stack weight to 17 5/8 Ib
