Arbor Automation WIPCON Pallets are custom configured to the parts and processes in the specific conveyor application. These pallets were designed to be capable of passing through washing operations and included provisions for spay access and drainage.
Pallets can contain the following elements in their design
Pallet Accuracies
- Low, Medium or High accuracy pallet stop details
- Low, Medium or High accuracy part locating details
Pallet Materials
- Pallet Materials can range from Steel, Aluminum or Molded Plastic
- Part Nest Fixtures can be Steel, Aluminum or UHMW
Pallet Flow Intelligence
- Toggle pins for simple process routing
- Read/Write Pallet RFID Tags for more complex routing and data tracking

Arbor Automation often will do the “value Added” integration of machine tool loading in conjunction with our standard conveyor products in order to supply a desired turnkey automation system
Arbor Automations Wipcon Series pallet conveyor systems allow you to automate processes for irregularly shaped parts which reduces the costs associated with repeated manual part handling , part damage and ergonomic problems.
Arbor Automations Wipcon systems are used as a means of part-process transportation through many different types of processes such as this Robotic Trans-gun Assembly Welding Process
Arbor Automations Wipcon Series of Part-in-Pallet conveyor systems are often used to advance parts through various parallel and/or sequential CNC machining operations; such as this twin spindle lathe

Arbor Automation often will do the “value Added” integration in conjunction with our standard conveyor products in order to supply a desired turnkey automation system.
This system included the integration and loading of several Metal Cutting Machine tools, Part Flip Stations, Part-Pallet Washing, In Line Final Inspection Gaging, Part I.D. Marking and Robotic Tray Packing,
Arbor Automations LBP “Low Back Pressure” Series of Conveyors was developed in 2001 to satisfy the (gentle but not necessarily part –in- pallet ) process applications. The chain has rows of rollers which roll and greatly reduce the frictional part pushing on part pressure. These are pre-engineered systems with curve modules and an assortment of commonly used traffic and ancillary hardware device options. There are 2 chain width options and adjustable side rails can be used to customize either single or dual part path widths.
The Arbor Automation LBP Systems are ideal for parts like gears, bearings, aluminum machined castings, flat parts , Heat Treated parts or parts with burrs
Arbor Automations LBP “Low Back Pressure” Series of Conveyors can be long multiple drive systems which integrate with many processes or simple r single straight length assembled sections with devices wired to J-Boxes for controls by others (as shown)

Arbor Automations LBP Series of conveyors can be used to move parts through many different types of processes.
Metal Cutting operations are common application and often require the integration of various machine tool loading devices such as Robots or Gantries.
Arbor Automation LBP Systems have many common modules which are used such as this off line shuttle which allows a machine tool loader to pick up and/or drop off parts without blocking the line flow for other parallel operations.
