Stacking & Automation intelligent & innovative

Stacking & Automation Solutions

for steel rule cutting machines

Increasingly shorter product life cycles, a shortage of skilled workers and the trend towards individualization require flexible stacking and automation solutions tailored to customer requirements.

We provide you with the right stacking & automation solutions for your SPEEDFORMER KMD. Count on efficient stacking solutions such as Pick & Place, A/B stacking, tip stacking or stacking up/down.

The Kiefel SPEEDAUTOMATION (KSA), which is based on a modular system, fully covers the requirement for a completely modular and therefore flexible standard automation for the KMD series, in especially for the SPEEDFORMER KMD 78.2 Speed.

The standardized automation is supplemented by customer-specific solutions such as the SPEEDPACKER (KSP) and the SPEEDPADDER (KSD).

Stacking

Pick & Place, A/B stacking, further stacking solutions

Pick & Place

Pick & place systems offer continuous output rates. A longer conveyor belt can serve as a buffer. The formed parts can be removed in an ergonomically convenient position.

A/B Stacking

When processing thin films and with a high degree of automation during removal and filling, A/B stacking is an economical solution. The KMD systems are perfectly designed for this purpose.

Automation

SPEEDPACKER

SPEEDPACKER KSP

The SPEEDPACKER is a standard automation module for SPEEDFORMER KMD series. The SPEEDPACKER includes an automated shuttle transfer of the finished formed trays. With optimum buffering of the trays, the operator can remove them at an ergonomic height.

Increase your production efficiency & benefit:

More buffer time
Multiple machine operation by one person
Ergonomic & safe working hight
Reduction of labor costs and associated costs
Flexible use with new & existing machines as well as for machines from other manufacturers (on request)
Optional: Gate for noise reduction

Technical highlights:

Removal height product stack	700 - 1,000 mm
Removal conveyor dimensions	approx. 1,900 x 780 mm
Conveyor belt speed	adjustable
Installation surface	appx. 3.5 x 1.9 x 3 m
Production speed max.	50 cycles/min

SPEEDPADDER

SPEEDAUTOMATION (KSA)

Intelligent interaction of material, machine and automation

Increasingly shorter product life cycles, a shortage of skilled workers and the trend towards individualization require flexible automation solutions tailored to customer requirements. The answer to this is the new Kiefel SPEEDAUTOMATION (KSA), which is based on a modular system. In addition to customer-specific automation solutions, the KSA offers completely modular and therefore flexible standard automation for the KMD series, especially for the SPEEDFORMER KMD 78.2 Speed.

Customer Success Story

Perfect match of the KSA modules to the KMD series

The KSA is optimally matched to the KMD series and can be integrated into existing systems as well as into new machines. This allows the production of packaging with various modules to be automated and modernized.

A KSA module forms stacks from partial stacks, e.g. of food trays. Another module is the carton erecting and closing unit. It removes cartons from a box magazine, erects them, and, if necessary, inserts a protective bag for hygienic packaging of the products. The stacked packaging is automatically inserted into these. As soon as the carton is full, the bag and carton can also be automatically closed and transported onwards as required. The KSA range also includes an automatic labeling unit.

The palletizing unit consists of two palletizing stations. This makes it possible to palletize in one station while the other is being emptied. If the products are not to be packed in cartons, the sleeving module can be used. Here, one or more stacks are packed and shrink-wrapped.
