Omec ICA600
ICA 600 Automatic gluing machine for wine-crate sides and furniture-drawer components
An automatic OMEC glue-application platform for the sides of wine crates and furniture drawers. Two adjustable nozzles apply vinyl glue in sections or as a continuous stream, while the work cycle runs automatically; removing one finished workpiece starts the next gluing cycle.

Production problem
Repeated manual glue application can become the bottleneck between joint machining and final drawer or crate assembly.
Machine mechanism
Two adjustable nozzles can deliver vinyl glue in sections or continuously across the programmed work cycle.
Process value
The gluing cycle is automatic; operator removal of the completed workpiece triggers the next workpiece cycle while only magazine depth and nozzle position/height remain manual adjustments.

Start with the manufacturing problem
Automatic glue application should remove repetitive hand work without pretending the entire line is autonomous.
The ICA 600 automates the gluing cycle itself. Some setup and handling remain with the operator: magazine depth and nozzle position/height are manually adjusted, and removing a completed workpiece initiates the next automatic cycle.
Application flexibility
Two glue patterns are available
The nozzles can apply vinyl glue in sections or in a continuous mode.
Automatic cycle
The next cycle starts automatically
Removing a completed workpiece starts the gluing cycle for the next workpiece automatically.
Throughput discipline
Set output from the measured cell cycle
Establish practical output from the qualified workpiece, operator removal and downstream assembly conditions.
Application fit
For repeated glue application on wine-crate sides and furniture-drawer components inside a controlled automatic cycle.
The ICA 600 is best qualified by workpiece geometry, glue path and surrounding production flow. It is intended for wine-crate sides and furniture-drawer components; final profile compatibility should be confirmed against the actual customer part.
Strong fit
Wine-crate sides
Sides of wine crates are a primary workpiece application.
Strong fit
Furniture-drawer components
Furniture-drawer components are also within the machine’s intended workpiece scope.
Strong fit
Sectional glue paths
A good fit where adhesive must be deposited at intervals rather than continuously.
Strong fit
Continuous glue paths
The same two-nozzle platform can also apply a continuous stream.
Automation fit
Automatic-cycle requirement
Best suited where the glue application itself should cycle automatically while an operator remains part of workpiece handling.
Different OMEC route
Manual gluing cells
For lower automation or a different workpiece-flow strategy, qualify ICM 300 separately rather than blending the two machines.
Select the gluing process from the workpiece backwards
Define the glue path, part envelope and handling cycle before selecting the machine.
ICA 600 qualification starts with the actual wine-crate or drawer component, then closes nozzle placement, magazine setup, adhesive and downstream assembly.
Define the workpiece
Wine-crate side or furniture-drawer component, including the complete dimensional family.
Define the glue path
Sectional or continuous application and the locations that the two nozzles must reach.
Check the envelope
Validate length, width, thickness and depth against the stated workpiece limits.
Qualify the adhesive
Use vinyl glue at 8,000 mPa.s as the stated machine basis, then qualify the final adhesive process for the application.
Balance the line
Match the automatic glue cycle to operator unloading and the downstream press, clamp or box-assembly operation.
Machine architecture / work cycle
Two adjustable nozzles inside a fully automatic gluing cycle.
The ICA 600’s defining architecture is not CNC positioning. It is an automatic glue cycle with manual setup of magazine depth and nozzle position/height, plus operator removal between cycles.
Glue delivery
Two adjustable nozzles
The machine uses two adjustable glue nozzles for the workpiece application.
Application mode
Sectional / continuous modes
The same nozzles can distribute vinyl glue in sections or continuously.
Automation
Automatic cycle
OMEC describes the work cycle as fully automatic.
Setup boundary
Manual residual adjustments
Magazine depth and nozzle position/height remain manual settings.
Glue-application capability
Nozzle placement has to follow the actual workpiece profile.
The ICA 600 applies glue directly to machined wood components. Qualification should therefore start with the real profile, required glue path and nozzle position rather than a generic joint assumption.
Workpiece / nozzle relationship
Adjust the nozzles to the workpiece and the required glue path.
Use the customer part to confirm nozzle position, glue location and sectional or continuous application. Glue-bead size, cure time and bond-performance requirements remain part of the adhesive/process qualification.
Glue-bead size, joint geometry, open time, cure time and bond-strength requirements are confirmed as part of the adhesive/process qualification.

Layout
Operator work zone

Deployment
Commissioning / training
Final glue setup, cycle checks and operating practice belong to qualified commissioning and the supplied machine documentation.
Production-rate framework
Set production expectations from the complete glue-cell cycle.
Automatic glue cycling reduces repetitive application work, but practical output still depends on magazine presentation, operator removal, glue path, workpiece mix and downstream assembly capacity.
Cycle baseline
Establish a measured cycle rate
Measure the complete part-to-part cycle on the qualified workpiece rather than relying on an assumed hourly figure.
Automation context
Automatic cycle is not an output guarantee
The next-piece cycle begins automatically, but cell output still includes operator removal and downstream handling.
Process context
Glue path matters
Sectional and continuous application requirements can affect the actual cycle.
Line context
Downstream assembly matters
The glue station only improves line flow if the press, clamp or box-assembly process can absorb the workpieces.
Ownership / changeover
Automatic cycling still depends on disciplined magazine and nozzle setup.
The machine reduces repetitive glue application, while the operator remains responsible for magazine depth, nozzle position/height and maintaining the qualified adhesive process.
Changeover
Control magazine depth
Keep magazine setup tied to the actual workpiece family.
Application setup
Control nozzle position / height
Nozzle placement must match the qualified glue path and workpiece profile.
Glue process
Preserve adhesive condition
Use the approved vinyl-glue process and follow the adhesive manufacturer’s storage/handling requirements.
Ownership
Maintain documented service practice
Follow the supplied service procedures for glue, pressure and electrical systems.
Production-line integration
ICA 600 bridges machined components and final crate or drawer assembly.
Its automatic cycle is most useful when the upstream part process can keep the magazine supplied and the downstream assembly operation can accept glued components at a consistent pace.

Set magazine / nozzles
Adjust magazine depth plus nozzle position and height for the workpiece family.
Run automatic glue cycle
Apply sectional or continuous vinyl glue through the two adjustable nozzles.
