Weber Screwdriving Systems of Yorktown Heights, NY, was established as a US company from their parent company in Germany in the mid 1970’s. Since their arrival in the US market, Weber has been known to be a leader in Auto-feed Screwdriving and Nut-Running systems.
Over the years Weber has expanded their capabilities in order to offer higher value solutions. Today Weber can supply standard core products, engineered workstations and special designed and built machines based on their core competency of Screwdriving and Nut running.
In the past couple of years, Weber has released several new products to expand their application base. These new products include; the ZSL series of step type feeders, the LCS line of simple slide spindles, the new C50 DC controller, the new ECO series of auto-feed hand held drivers. Weber has also developed two niche fastener installation systems (flow drilling fasteners and expander plug/blind rivet installation spindles).
Weber continues to lead the industry in excellence and innovation for automated threaded fastening systems.

Arbor Automation was founded in 1996 by a Machine Builder in Jackson Michigan. The company initially designed the Wipcon product family (Work In Process CONveyor) a “best in class” pre-engineered pallet conveyor system with modules that would allow the design of custom flow paths and intellegent process flow management.
In 2001 Arbor Automation developed the LBP (Low Back Pressure) Product Family, a roller top chain which allows parts to touch and accumulate but without high amounts of pressure.
Arbor Automation ,with its “part in pallet” Wipcon series and its LBP Chain series of products considers itself experts in low impact part flow material handling. They will design and build complete custom conveyor configurations and integrate automation components and tooling, or assemble to a configuration and wire to J Boxes for others to integrate. Arbor Automation conveyors can be used in both Assembly Applications as well as in Metal Cutting lines.
So… if you need part flow automation, consider the company making a BIG IMPACT with Low Impact Automation…Arbor Automation
Marathon Weld started in 2002 in Jackson, MI as a special machine builder who specialized in custom robotic TIG/MIG and resistance weld systems. Marathon became a part of the Orbitform Group in late 2005 and was a great addition to Orbitform’s other fastening assembly process technologies. While at Orbitform, the Marathon products have become focused into two (2) standard machine platforms. The Mini-Z, which is the smallest footprint robotic TIG/MIG welding cell on the market today and their H-frame, multi gun series of resistance weld machines. Marathon offers these standard platform machines either with or without fixtures and tooling .
Marathon has also developed “state of the art" monitoring systems for welding; RPAS (resistance welding) and WTS (weld tip systems).
Marathon Weld has refined its 2 standard platform machines to offer highly efficient welding work cells, maximizing production while minimizing factory floor space.
