Material Handling

Material Handling Solutions for High-Volume Manufacturing

Moving parts through your process isn't just about getting them from point A to point B — it's about controlling how parts arrive, how they're presented, and how they feed into your equipment without creating bottlenecks.

Orbitform's material handling solutions are designed for manufacturing environments where part flow, organization, and throughput matter. From precision load/unload automation to specialty conveyors and bulk handling systems, we engineer solutions that remove constraints instead of creating new ones.

If your parts need to move — and move right — we build the systems that make it happen.

Precision Load/Unload:
Basketizer

The Basketizer is for manufacturers who run precision parts at high volume and can't afford to have their machines waiting on an operator.

Precision Load/Unload: Robotic Integration

Orbitform's advanced manufacturing offering includes the system integration of third-party industrial robotics into the fastening, forming or assembly system. Custom automation and robotic solutions can improve the production and part handling requirements of the assembly.

Specialty Conveyors: Palletized

Our palletized conveyor line uses pallets with fixtures to carry each part between stations, even allowing assembly operations to be performed on the conveyor. Orbitform is experienced in complex controls, trafficking technology, and RFID integration.

Specialty Conveyors: Low Back Pressure Conveyors

A low back pressure conveyor system utilizes small rollers to minimize friction and back pressure to accumulate parts and prevent part-to-part contact damage.

Bulk Handling: Dumpers/Sorters

Dumping, sorting and organizing parts from a bulk container to an oriented “soldier row” alignment, ready for removal to be processed.

Bulk Handling: Large Material Handling

Our sister company Wardcraft Conveyors, builds and manufactures conveyance systems of all types, including steel hinge, magnetic, belt, and oscillating conveyors.
