Kern 90
Card Mailing System

The groundbreaking card processing solution for high-range volumes

The Kern 90 Card System is yet another innovation from the Kern Group, whose more than 70 years’ experience with inserting systems has enabled the company to develop a new and exciting card system. 

The Kern 90 is notable for its extremely versatile and modular design. The system’s pick and place robot allows up to 8 cards to be placed anywhere on the document, while its linear structure allows up to max 7,000 cards placements per hour - a significant gain in productivity.

The System’s user friendly software allows for a database controlled procedure where all cards are compared with carrier and inserts, then validated and inserted. Each processing step is monitored, and an ergonomic user interface makes system operations extremely simple and intuitive.

And what’s more, all product information is available for ad hoc evaluation purposes. The use of a pick and place robot allows cards of varying thicknesses, sizes and forms to be processed
