High Precision Pallet Transfer Systems

Steady & Reliable Manufacturer

Product Detailed Professional Description

High Precision Pallet Transfer Systems are sophisticated conveyors designed to transport fixtures or tooling pallets and stop them at designated workstations with extreme positional accuracy. These systems typically use either Chain-Driven Pallet Conveyors or Belt-Driven Pallet Conveyors combined with mechanical stops, lift-and-locate mechanisms (shot pins), and high-resolution encoders. They are characterized by a highly rigid frame, minimal accumulating pressure, and integration with PLC/WCS for synchronous indexing, essential for robotic or CNC machine interaction.

Introduction & Company Integration

Wuxi Huiqian manufactures the specialized conveyance systems that form the backbone of automated assembly and machine tending. Our High Precision Pallet Transfer Systems are built with the tight mechanical tolerances and repeatable indexing mechanisms required by global manufacturers. Drawing on our deep engineering expertise, we provide the stable, precise conveyance platform that ensures automated equipment—such as robots or vision systems—can interact reliably with the product.

Application Fields

Robotic Assembly Cells: Indexing pallets precisely for automated welding, gluing, or fastening.
CNC Machine Tending: Staging tooling fixtures with raw materials for automated loading.
Testing and Inspection: Positioning products accurately under vision cameras or testing probes.
Complex Manual Assembly: Indexing work-in-process (WIP) through manual workstations.

Specification

Conveyance Medium	Chain (Accumulating or Non-Accumulating) or Belt
Positioning Accuracy	≤±0.5 mm (Achieved via shot pin/locating mechanism)
Load Capacity	50 kg to 500 kg per pallet (Typical)
Accumulation Method	Low-friction roller accumulation or Zero Pressure Accumulation (ZPA)
Stop Mechanism	Pneumatic/Electric mechanical stops with integrated sensors

Material Selection Guide

Materials are chosen for stiffness and low friction:

Frame/Side Rails: Heavy-duty Aluminum Extrusion (for modularity) or Welded Steel (for maximum rigidity and load capacity).
Pallet Runners: Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) or Acetal to provide a low-friction sliding surface.
Locating Pins: Hardened, precision-ground steel for minimal wear and maximum positioning repeatability.

Advantages & Core Features

Highly Repeatable Stops: Precision shot pin or wedge mechanisms mechanically lock the pallet into the exact position, eliminating drift or positioning errors inherent in the drive system.
Non-Contact Accumulation: Low-friction drive surfaces (e.g., twin-strand chain systems) minimize pressure between pallets, protecting sensitive tooling.
Seamless Automation Interface: Integrated sensors communicate pallet presence and lock status directly to the PLC/robot controller for synchronous operation.
Modular Reconfiguration: Segmented frame design allows for easy addition or removal of workstations as production requirements evolve.

FAQ

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: How do you prevent pallets from jamming during accumulation?
A: Systems utilize a low-friction surface that allows the pallet to slip under the drive force once it meets the downstream stop, or they use ZPA logic that disengages the drive immediately upstream of the stopped pallet.

Q: What is the benefit of a shot pin over a simple hard stop?
A: A shot pin is a cylindrical rod that enters a machined hole in the pallet, providing a positive, highly precise lock in two axes (X and Y), whereas a hard stop only locates the pallet roughly along the line of travel (X).
