The WatchDawg monitoring and control system ensures consistency and uniformity of orbital formed rivets.
Using Arbor's LBP conveyors, parts ride directly on a densely populated array of plastic rollers.
The parts flow freely with very low friction and exert minimal force on adjacent parts and automation components.
Arbor integrates LBP conveyors with machine tools, robots, operator load stations, parts washers, and virtually any production assembly system.
Arbor Automation LBP conveyors are ideal for: low-impact part handling with minimal part-to-part contact, work-in-process (WIP) buffering / accumulation; asynchronous or synchronous WIP flow; and low-profile, thin walled or round parts.
Easy to set up and configure, the modular LBP segments come in variable lengths with widths of 95 to 305mm.
The system is capable of 45 and 90 degree turns, high and low density roller spacing, multiple chain materials, and custom specified heights.
Arbor can supply a full range of LPB conveyors, from fully operable systems to conveyors with junction box and valve stack integrations points.
