Conveyor systems
Pallet conveyor systems
The pallet conveyor system is using pallets to transport workpieces between operations in manufacturing and assembly operations.
It´s a modular and customized innovation that can be designed from effective single cell solutions to fully automated multi process flow systems.
The conveyor system is ideal for flexible production systems with high-volume or mixed flow. For decades, it’s been demonstrated that transporting pallets via friction on plastic chains is the most efficient method for connecting machines in manufacturing.
This workpiece carrier system gives you high performance, less WIP and a higher margin per workpiece.
Trusted by manufacturers worldwide
Flexible flow lines
Flexible flow and/or Autonomous conveyor systems.
- Multi process flow system
- Material is distributed on the pallet conveyor systems between all operations automatically
- From anywhere to anywhere
- Several products in mixed flows possible
- System output is optimized (pull)
- Dynamic buffers
- Layout based on highways and satellites
- Shortest possible throughput time
- Modular and reconfigurable solution.
- With RFID seamless parts traceability
- PS800 and CS200
Continuous flow lines
Pallet conveyor for serial & parallel operations.
Automated conveyor system used in both assembly and manufacturing.
- Material is distributed on the conveyor system between all operations automatically
- Material can be guided instead of autonomous
- Operations in sequence
- The capacity is often balanced
- Buffers necessary between operations
- Modular and reconfigurable solution.
- With RFID seamless parts traceability
- PS800, CS200, CS900

Tabletop system (TS)
TS-conveyor is made for transport parts directly on the chain
- Mostly used when the objective is to transport parts in and out of machines and robot cells.
- TS can also be built as a larger system to connect operations
- Normal speed 6-8 m/min
- Steel or plastic chain
- Wide range 144mm or 190 mm
- Weights up to 20kg / 45 lbs
Other Conveyor types
In our automation projects we offer solutions for all type of conveyors.
- Belt conveyor to simple transport items over a flat surface.
- Roller conveyor for smooth movement of items, often gravity-fed.
- Chain conveyor for heavy-duty transport, often EU-pallets and heavy parts.
- Proven experience in handling the loading and unloading of robotic cells.
- And of course many other variants to your specific project.
Benefits of the pallet conveyor system
A pallet conveyor system streamlines material handling by automating the movement of parts and assemblies across production stages. It enhances workflow efficiency, reduces manual labor, and minimizes handling errors. With precise routing and positioning, it supports just-in-time manufacturing and improves overall productivity. Modular and scalable, these pallet conveyor systems adapt easily to changing production needs, making them ideal for both small and large-scale operations. By integrating seamlessly with robotic cells and other automation technologies, pallet conveyors help manufacturers achieve higher throughput, better quality control, and a safer working environment.
The size, shape and weight of the Workpiece is the main characteristics taken into consideration when designing your EWAB system solution.
