With the growing emphasis on lean manufacturing and semi-automated production, it is important to have workcells that are flexible enough to accommodate the rapidly changing demands of today's manufacturing environment.
mk Conveyor Workstations
Conveyor Workstation Systems provide cost-effective, high-efficiency workflow systems throughout your entire production stream, between automatic machines and in operations including:
Whether your application calls for a pallet, belt, roller, or another type of conveyor, it can be integrated with our modular workstation system. You can also combine conveyors with ball transfer tables when working with pallets or heavy objects in sub-assembly or box build operations.
Why are mk conveyor workstation the solution of choice?

- Full adjustability improves efficiency of operators and their task
- Engineered and built to your exact specifications
Material transfer workstations
Material transfer workstations, sometimes known as ball transfer workstations, may utilize fixed or pop up balls, roller inserts, or insert wheels embedded in a worksurface to aid in the ergonomic handling or transfer of a work product. They can be used on a stand-alone workstation, between workstations, or between workstations and transport carts or conveyors.
Generally less expensive and more task-specific than conveyors, material transfer worksurfaces are typically designed around the products that will be built or manipulated on the workstation.
Considerations when designing a material transfer worksurface for your application include:

Generally less expensive and more task-specific than conveyors, material transfer worksurfaces are typically designed around the products that will be built or manipulated on the workstation.
Considerations when designing a material transfer worksurface for your application include:
- The size and weight of the product
- If the product is moved on a pallet or tray
- If product needs to be rotated while on the workstation
- How the object is to be delivered to and removed from the workstation
- Where on the worksurface the product will be worked on The material that will be in contact with the worksurface, i.e., product itself or the pallet/tray it rides on
- Direction of transfer, and the direction of travel
