Modular conveyor uses minimal energy
Low back pressure modular conveyor system moves provides strength and speed, moving parts freely with very low friction and exerts minimal force on adjacent automation components.
Arbor Automation, part of the Orbitform Group, has introduced the Low Back Pressure (LBP) modular conveyor system.
Arbor's conveyor transfers parts of all shapes and sizes with minimal energy.
Parts ride directly on a densely populated array of plastics 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 can be used for the following.
* Low impact part handling with minimal part-to-part contact.
* Work-in-process (WIP) buffering/accumulation.
* Asynchronous or synchronous WIP flow.
* Low profile/thin walled/round parts.
Easy to set up and configure, the modular LBP segments come in variable lengths with widths of 3.75 to 12in.
Features also include the following.
* 45 and 90 deg turns.
* High and low density roller spacing.
* Multiple chain materials.
* Custom specified heights.
Arbor is experienced in complex controls and trafficking technology and is an experienced RFID integrator.
Arbor can supply a full range of LPB conveyors, from fully operable systems - to conveyors with junction box and valve stack integrations points.
