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:
FlexLink
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
