Limited-time offer: MBO puts together an attractive package with K8RS, A80 and CoBo-Stack

The K8RS, which operates at 275 m/min (902 fpm), is the fastest folding machine in the world. Thanks to the extensive automation and wide range of features such as the slitter shaft cassette, set-up times are extremely low. The machine features the M1 Advanced machine control as well as the RAS remote maintenance software, which can be used to access the free remote maintenance service.

The special package contains the latest version of the MBO palletized feeder. This means customers benefit from significant energy savings, which is not only great for the environment, but for their wallets as well. The air flow of the feeder has been modified and is now much more efficient. A controlled pump is also used, which does not regulate the air supply continuously, but instead adjusts it individually to the precise process requirements. This energetically very efficient and environmentally friendly solution uses 50 % less energy than conventional pumps on the market. The new pump is also equipped with a ventilated noise damping device which considerably reduces noise emissions. The dual-vacubelt for the sheet infeed has also been modified and now has four valves with increased suction power. This allows a further increase in overall performance.

In addition to the world’s fastest folding machine, the package also includes the A80 stacker delivery and the CoBo-Stack stacking robot. The delivery is fully integrated into the folding machine control. All functions can be performed from any screen. The A80 offers very simple access and extensive automation, allowing quick and simple set-up operations. In addition, the A80 is the ideal delivery for the MBO CoBo-Stack.

The CoBo-Stack stacking robot is an established solution in the market for automated stacking of folded sheets onto a pallet. MBO already has over 120 of these robots on the market. The main advantage of the CoBo-Stack compared to other automated stacking solutions is its mobility and flexibility. The CoBo-Stack is collaborative. This means that it can work directly next to people, and without any additional protective devices such as safety fences and pricey photoelectric sensors. The robot is on rollers and can be deployed exactly where it is needed within a very short time – not only behind folding machines, but also behind saddle stitchers and perfect binders.
