The perfect way to increase your productivity
Reduce manual handling, accelerate short-run production, and keep your finishing workflow moving. The Kongsberg Feeder & Stacker automates pallet-to-pallet board handling to increase throughput while lowering labor demands and setup time.
Automation that keeps jobs moving
Built for continuous production
The Kongsberg Feeder & Stacker is an automated sheet handling solution designed to eliminate one of the biggest production bottlenecks: manual loading and unloading. By automating pallet-to-pallet board transport, it helps operators process more work with less interruption while maintaining consistent production flow.
Designed specifically for short-run digital finishing environments, the system combines automatic board feeding, reliable material transport, and precise stacking to increase output without increasing labor requirements. Optional underside camera technology further streamlines workflow by eliminating manual registration checks and reducing setup time
Benefits & Features
More output, less handling
Increase production efficiency by automating material movement before and after cutting. The Feeder & Stacker reduces operator intervention, shortens setup time, and helps maintain consistent throughput across a wide range of materials.
Continuous production flow
Automated pallet-to-pallet handling keeps material moving through production with minimal operator intervention. By reducing loading and unloading delays, the system supports longer unattended runs and helps increase overall throughput. More cutting time means more jobs completed per shift.
Faster job setup
The optional Underside Camera automatically detects registration marks, barcodes, and sheet position during loading. This eliminates manual verification and registration calculations, saving up to 30 minutes per job. Faster setup means quicker job turnaround and improved production efficiency.
Precise material handling
Gentle sheet transport, accurate registration, and reliable stack alignment help protect valuable printed materials throughout production. Consistent handling improves finished product quality while reducing the risk of damage and rework. Smooth downstream processing further enhances workflow efficiency.
Simplified, reliable operation
A full-size vacuum plenum plate reduces manual adjustments, while an advanced vacuum system ensures dependable sheet handling across different materials. Combined with a streamlined design and minimal moving parts, this helps reduce maintenance demands and maximize system uptime.
Broad application flexibility
Support for sheet sizes up to 3200x1600 mm and a wide range of materials enables production across packaging, display, and sign applications. From corrugated board and display carton to plastics and honeycomb materials, the system adapts to changing production requirements without compromising efficiency.
Automation with built-in safety
Extended Automation Safety (EAS) is available for Kongsberg C and Ultimate Series systems equipped with a Feeder & Stacker. It supports automated production by helping maintain operator safety, stable operations, and efficient workflows while enabling higher levels of automation.

FAQ
Common questions
Can automation help with short-run production?
Can automation help with short-run production?
Yes. Automation is not only for huge batches. It can also help short-run teams reduce repetitive handling, protect printed sheets, and keep jobs moving through the table more consistently.
Can C Series tables be used with automation?
Can C Series tables be used with automation?
Yes. C Series tables can be combined with automation options such as feeding, stacking, robotic handling, and smart sheet handling. That makes them a strong choice when manual loading is slowing production down.
Is automation worth it for one operator?
Is automation worth it for one operator?
It can be. If one person is constantly loading, unloading, checking, and restarting jobs, automation can remove a lot of that back-and-forth. The value depends on how often the table is waiting for hands.
When does a Feeder & Stacker make sense?
When does a Feeder & Stacker make sense?
A Feeder & Stacker makes sense when loading and unloading are becoming the slow part of the job. It helps move boards from pallet to table and back again with less manual handling.
