Modular Conveyor Overcomes Resistance

Low back pressure system provides strength and speed for all moving parts.

Arbor Automation, part of the Orbitform Group, is pleased to introduce the Low Back Pressure (LBP) modular conveyor system. Arbor's conveyor transfers parts of all shapes and sizes with minimal energy.

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:
o Low impact part handling with minimal part-to-part contact
o Work-in-process (WIP) buffering / accumulation
o Asynchronous or synchronous WIP flow
o 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 12 inches. Features include: 45 and 90 degree turns, high and low density roller spacing, multiple chain materials, and 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.
