COBO-STACK AUTOMATIC PALLETIZER

The CoBo-Stack truly fits the new print market demanding high productivity with minimal labor and set up time.

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.

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

Cobot – collaborative robot which does not need a protective cage
Two pallet spaces possible; this allows one pallet to be prepared whilst the other is being loaded
Optical and acoustic signals for indicating different operating states
Retrofittable to existing delivery systems, for example MBO A500 / A700, MBO A80 as well as to delivery systems from other manufacturers, to saddlestitchers and to perfect binders
Receiving the stacks from the left-hand side of the delivery
RAS router included; access permission from customer is mandatory Indicator lamp and acoustic signal. Intuitive M1 control. Mobile and as easy to move as a delivery.
Two different signatures can be deposited separately on the same pallet
With double stream production, it is possible to deposit on the left-hand and right-hand pallets alternately

Additional features:

Open, electrical interface for third party machines
Receiving the stacks from the right-hand side of the delivery
Camera from below for depositing two different signatures on the left / right, for example in double stream production
