Automation · Feeder & Stacker


Run more jobs.
Touch the board less.

The Kongsberg Feeder & Stacker eliminates manual loading and unloading - giving you a fully automated, pallet-to-pallet workflow that runs faster, wastes less and frees your operators to focus on what matters.

Why it matters

Your cutter is fast. Manual handling is the bottleneck.

The Feeder and Stacker removes the two biggest time-wasters in board production: waiting for an operator to load the next sheet, and manually sorting finished cuts.

The result is a cutter that never idles and a team that can focus on higher-value work.

  • 2 boards/min - continuous automated feed rate
  • 20-30 min saved per job with the underside camera
  • 50 mm maximum board thickness supported
  • Up to 4 parallel stacks per run

How it works

From pallet to finished stack - automated.

The Feeder and Stacker sits in-line with your Kongsberg table, adding automation at both ends of the cut cycle.

Key benefits

Built for high-volume short-run production.

Continuous production

Automatic board feeding eliminates idle time between sheets. The cutter never waits for an operator.

Minimal setup time

The full-coverage vacuum plenum plate removes manual adjustments across different sheet sizes - faster changeovers, less downtime.

Perfect stack alignment

Every finished board lands in the correct position, making downstream packing and assembly consistent and fast.

No print damage

The vacuum feeder handles boards gently - no grippers or rollers that can mark print surfaces. Critical for display and packaging quality.

Lower labour cost per job

One operator can run multiple jobs simultaneously. The Feeder and Stacker handles repetitive loading and unloading so they don't have to.

Low maintenance design

Fewer moving parts than the previous generation means extended maintenance intervals and simpler servicing when needed.


Standout feature

The underside camera. Save 20-30 minutes per job.

Most digital finishing departments print-side-down - which means checking every sheet manually, calculating registration marks by hand, and cutting test sheets to verify alignment before a job can run.

The optional underside camera changes all of that. It scans each sheet from below at the exact moment it is being fed to the table, automatically identifying registration marks, barcodes and sheet corners - without stopping the feed cycle.

No manual measurements. No test cuts. No waiting.

"The underside camera alone will save us up to 30 minutes on each job."
Gerald Maister, Vice President - Global Imaging
