Your opportunities await among customer products, application areas and customers cases.
MEDICAL DEVICES
The production of medical devices is a growing area for automation. Some of the reasons are:
- Cost
- Consistent quality
- Reduction
- 30 of PIA
- Adherence to government regulations
- Traceability of products
- Environmental control/cleanrooms
The products normally have a high value increase during the production process, and therefore the product yield and consistency of quality are crucial factors.
CONVEYOR SYSTEMS
The FlexLink conveyor is based on an aluminium conveyor beam with low friction slide rails guiding a plastic multi-flexing chain. Products to be conveyed travel directly on the conveyor, or on pallets/carries. Products that are handled have a weight from a few grams up to 20kg with as well a huge variety of shapes.
The high flexibility and the wide range makes it possible to use the conveyors in both permanent lines as well as in flexible modularised solutions. Solutions based on FlexLink conveyors are used in all major industries.
Significant features for the conveyors are:
- Short time to install and take in use
- Wide standard assortment assures that the solution is well tailored for the application
- High reliability
- Easy to rebuild and reuse
- FDA approved materials for food applications
- ESD protection for electronic and electrical industry
- Capability for clean environments and qualified clean rooms
