In the world of multistation automated assembly systems, there are high-speed systems, and then there are really high-speed systems.
Depending on the system and the product, rotary indexing dials or pallet-transfer systems can produce 15 to 250 assemblies per minute. In contrast, continuous motion assembly systems can routinely produce 400 to 800 parts per minute, and some machines can produce more than 1,800 parts per minute.
