Reduce operator time with unattended production
Automate sheet loading and unloading with the Kongsberg Robotic Material Handler. Designed for high-volume digital finishing, it helps you increase productivity, reduce manual handling, and extend production beyond staffed shifts.
Automation for continuous production
Robotic handling without interruptions
The Kongsberg Robotic Material Handler is a pallet-to-pallet automation solution designed for digital finishing operations in the sign, display, corrugated, and folding carton industries. By automatically loading and unloading materials, it minimizes operator involvement and creates a continuous production flow.
Using advanced robotic handling and a specialized gripper system, the solution processes a wide range of rigid materials with precision and consistency. It enables unattended production, reduces handling-related damage, and helps businesses increase capacity without adding labor.
Benefits & Features
Built for productivity and growth
Reduce manual touchpoints, improve throughput, and create a more efficient production workflow. The Robotic Material Handler keeps materials moving while helping operators focus on higher-value activities.
Unattended shift production
Run jobs with minimal operator supervision and extend production capacity beyond normal working hours. This creates opportunities to increase output without expanding your workforce.
Pallet-to-pallet workflow
Materials are loaded directly from pallets and unloaded back onto pallets automatically. The elimination of intermediate handling steps improves efficiency throughout production.
Consistent material quality
Robotic handling reduces common causes of material damage such as bending, scratching, creasing, and fingerprints. Every sheet is positioned accurately and consistently.
High-speed material handling
Process materials at up to three boards per minute with a continuous material flow. Automated handling helps keep cutting systems productive throughout the shift.
Flexible stack configurations
The 7-axis rail-mounted version can service multiple instacks and outstacks, supporting a variety of production layouts and future expansion needs.
Supports profitable growth
Take on more work, improve utilization of cutting equipment, and redeploy operators to customer-facing or value-added activities that strengthen business performance.

FAQ
Common questions
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.
What does the Robotic Material Handler do?
What does the Robotic Material Handler do?
The Robotic Material Handler loads and unloads sheets directly from pallets. It is useful for more automated production environments where repeatable handling and less operator time are valuable.
