The OMG Riordina was shown for the first time at Drupa. It's a "de-collator" that takes a stack of mixed sections and automatically sorts them into the correct order.

"It's a clever solution for when a job has been gathered for binding and it has sections missing or in the wrong order," explained Friedheim managing director Peter Morris. "By automatically de-collating those sections it means that you don't end up with three pallets of rubbish at the end of a job or having to wait to run more sections because you're short  - the job finishes when it finishes and at the end you have the total quantity. "

The Riordina costs around 45,000 and is available with six, 12 or 18 hoppers.

Drupa was also the worldwide debut for OMG's clever automatic palletiser, the Robobook, which uses a new OMG robotic head. The head is multi-functional and can pick up the interleave sheets and the pallets as well as stacks of printed products. "It can do hard case books as well as magazines because there's no friction so no marking," Morris added.
