Assembly applications generally involve multiple component parts and processes. Each of these individual parts and processes has its own unique characteristics, which in turn influence the overall machine cycle time. With traditional rotary type assembly systems, the machine cycle time, and therefore the output, is determined by the slowest operation. The WEISS LS280 – High Speed Linear Transfer System however, enables several assembly oper...
