OMEGA682

Row robotic palletizer arm

Row robotic palletizer arm


Omega682 is one of Solema robotic tools for the palletizing of blocks of sewn books, softcover books or hardcover books at the end of line but also boxes and folding cartons. 

Thanks to the principle of row operation, Omega682 is able to palletize products in a compact and stable manner, carefully moving the product being handled.

A row preparation device lines up the pile of products and slides them into the tool, in which an air cushioning system minimises contacts and frictions between the products and the tool. The two side tools jog and support the pile of products in order to hold them in place and to position them correctly on the end-of-line pallet.

The destination pallet – on which Omega682 lays the rows – can be of the following dimensions:

  • 1200 x 800 mm
  • 1200 x 1000mm

Depending on requirements, Omega682 inserts the slipsheet between one layer and another, ensuring even more stability to the final product, which can be transported more easily.

FAQ

A robotic row palletizer arm is an end-of-line robot that automatically builds pallets with finished products, depositing them one row at a time. Solema's Omega 682 is a compact robot engineered specifically for the graphic arts industry and designed expressly for palletizing. It operates with a proprietary Solema gripper that picks complete rows of stacks of sewn, hardcover, softcover, or gauzed books.
The stacks arrive from the line on a conveyor, where a gate releases them one by one into the preparation station, which aligns them into rows. Each row slides inside the gripper on an air cushion that minimizes contact and friction, preserving product quality. Two side guides align and support the stacks during transfer, while two laser sensors verify pallet height and product positioning to ensure each row is deposited accurately.
Yes. Suction cups integrated into the Omega 682 gripper pick plastic or cardboard layer sheets (interleaves) from the magazine and place them on the pallet base, between layers, and on top of the completed pallet.
It is the ideal choice when you want to automate the end-of-line without having the production volumes that justify a traditional machine, such as our Pluton palletizer. The Omega 682 requires a lower investment and is particularly suitable for short runs and frequent format changes.
Setup times are in the range of a few minutes. The new recipe is configured on the control panel by entering just a few essential parameters: number of layers, product orientation, layer composition (rows and columns), and stack dimensions.
Installation and commissioning typically take about two weeks, depending on the layout, and conclude with operator training so your team can run the system in full autonomy.
The layout features a single pallet station, but the final footprint depends on the type of safety guards (perimeter fencing or light curtains) and how the cell integrates into the line. Our engineering department determines the layout best suited to the space available in your facility.
