MBO continues to develop the CoBo-Stack
News General news
The MBO CoBo-Stack stacking robot was launched 2.5 years ago. There are now already over 90 of them in the field. Nevertheless, MBO is constantly working to advance the cobot. The CoBo-Stack takes over the physically strenuous tasks of stacking folded signature stacks from the delivery onto the pallet in print shops and book binderies.
These are the latest features:
-Depositing two signatures on one pallet
For efficient processing of small runs, two different signatures can now be placed on the same pallet. Since the CoBo-Stack has two pallet spaces (on its left and on its right sides), up to four different signatures can be automatically deposited without the operator having to intervene.
-XS gripper enables an even wider range of paper formats
For most print shops and book binders, the size M CoBo-Stack gripper is big enough to place their products. The M gripper can move products that are in the format range from 155 mm x 210 mm (6” x 8”) and 235 mm x 340 mm (9 1⁄4” x 13 3/8”). For even more flexibility in print finishing, MBO has three more gripper sizes in its product range. The XS gripper was developed most recently. With the four grippers (XS, S, M and L), all products in the format range from 95 mm x 148 mm (3 3⁄4” x 5 7/8”) and 260 mm x 340 mm (10 1⁄4” x 13 3/8”) can be automatically placed from the delivery to the pallet with the CoBo-Stack.
-Increase the stack weight to 8 kg (17 5/8 Ib)
The CoBo-Stack gripper was previously able to handle product stacks up to 6 kg (13 Ib). Now, up to 8 kg (17 5/8 Ib) is possible as an option. This is of particular interest for heavy products such as perfect-bound brochures and catalogues.
