Keep materials and production moving
Reduce manual handling, remove production bottlenecks and build a more continuous digital finishing workflow around your Kongsberg cutting table.
Why automate
The right level of automation for your production
Most finishing operations aren't slowed down by the cutting table itself, they're slowed down by everything around it: loading sheets, unloading finished work, moving pallets and feeding rolls. The right automation closes that gap.
Keep production moving
Reduce idle time between jobs with automated material movement that keeps work progressing. Your cutting system spends more time producing and less time waiting.
Get more from your team
Automate repetitive handling tasks and free operators to focus on higher-value work. Less manual intervention helps improve efficiency across the entire workflow.
Scale automation at your pace
Start with operator-assisted solutions and expand to higher levels of automation as production demands grow. Build a workflow that supports today's needs while preparing for future growth.
Sheet-based automation
For rigid boards and sheet production
Solutions that load, handle and unload sheets and boards, from operator-assisted support to fully unattended, pallet-to-pallet production.
Operator-assisted
Smart sheet handling that keeps production moving
The Smart Material Handler (SMH) streamlines sheet flow on Kongsberg tables. It guides loading and offloading so idle time drops and production keeps moving.
- Operators stage the next sheet while the current job finishes, and the offload area helps collect finished work smoothly.
- SMH supports operator-assisted registration with optional Under Side Camera for print-side-down jobs.
- It fits 2x, 4x and 6x models of C and Ultimate series, with an alignment bracket to keep sheets parallel to conveyor movement.
- The system is ready for roll feeding, which lets teams switch quickly between sheet and roll production.
Pallet-to-pallet
The perfect way to increase productivity
The Feeder & Stacker (F&S) is the perfect way to increase productivity and give your business a competitive edge. It's an easy to use pallet-to-pallet solution.
- Advanced automated and modular board handling solution.
- Speeds up your short run production by eliminating manual handling bottlenecks.
- Reduces both material damage and waste without additional labor costs.
Unattended production
Reduce operator time with unattended production
The Robotic Material Handler (RMH) is the optimum sheet handling solution for digital finishing companies in the sign, display, folding carton and corrugated markets.
- Loads and unloads directly from and to the pallet, ensuring high precision at all times.
- Capable of handling corrugated, paper core boards and plastics quickly and accurately.
- No more intermediate loading or unloading, scissor lifts, work tables...
- You can use your own process pallets, or even the generic pallets your boards were shipped on.
Roll-based automation
For flexible, roll-fed materials
Solutions that feed, control and collect roll materials for consistent, wrinkle-free results from the first cut to the end of the roll.
Active roll feed
Accurate cut results on flexible materials through perfect feed
The Motorized Roll Feeder (MRF) is your ticket to continuous production of high volumes of wide format soft signage jobs. Innovative features work together to achieve the perfect final cut, even on challenging and tensile substrates.
- Eliminates inaccurate cuts on soft signage jobs due to wrinkles, stretch distortion or imperfectly rewound rolls.
- Wide format roll feeder with active material feed for the C64 and Ultimate 64 cutting tables.
- Market-leading solution in the soft signage industry that guarantees perfect cut results on tensile materials, from the very first cut through to the end of the roll.
Collect finished output
Roll-to-roll workflows made easy
The Kongsberg Take Up Unit for flexible materials makes roll-to-roll workflows easier. The unit makes finishing digitally printed jobs on rolls, and collecting waste, a very straightforward process.
- Simple to install for any Kongsberg table equipped with a conveyor feed system.
- Easy to operate and can easily be moved away when it's not needed. Can be added to a roll feeding setup, or purchased on its own.
Choose by production need
Choose the automation level that works for you
The best starting point depends on whether you process sheets or rolls, how much operator involvement is practical, and where handling slows production down today.
- Improve operator-assisted sheet flow
Start with Smart Material Handler to overlap operator and machine time. - Automate pallet-to-pallet board handling
Consider Feeder & Stacker to move to pallet-to-pallet automation. - Reduce operator involvement further
Use Robotic Material Handler for direct, unattended pallet loading and unloading. - Run flexible materials continuously
Use Motorized Roll Feeder for active feeding, and add a Take Up Unit to collect finished material and waste.
