The synchronous assembly system combines the advantages of the rotary table
assembly with the pallet line assembly system. This design with synchronous
pallets allows to extend the machine lengthwise, for a high number of assembly
stations, and to obtain a high speed of articulation from station to station.
The major component of the assembly process is placed into a pallet or fixture
that is mounted to a chain style conveyor and the conveyor is indexed from
station to station at a predetermined cycle.
