Profile

An elevator is used for vertical movement of products, i.e. elevating, lowerating or providing buffer capacity at the end of a conveyor run, or between different conveyors. A range of proven elevator designs support the standard pallet conveyor ranges as well as more general non-pallet applications.

Palletizing is placing and securing units or containers on pallets. Typical applications can be tissue paper rolls, all sorts of plastic bottles, cardboard boxes, etc.

FlexLink offers a complete product handling capability throughout the production process, including the requirement to palletize the products. The flexibility of the systems and the ability to reprogram for changes of product, or re-installation in other applications within a factory, ensures a longterm yield on the investment.

FlexLink works with the major robotic suppliers such as ABB and Fanuc to ensure that we supply the best supported robots and software in the market. The robots can generally handle up to 50 kg individual product loads. Individual grippers may be designed for specific applications if the standard range are not suitable.

FlexLink has developed a range of standard actuators and drive technology which allows the assembly of multi axis gantry robotics in a wide variety of sizes and designs. The systems can be designed for 1 to 5 axes depending on the application. Loads up to 50 kg. Individual grippers can be designed for specific applications if the standard range are not suitable.

Full service is available from initial analysis of the application up to full installation and commissioning.

Picking and placing is where a robot moves items from one place to another, for example from a conveyor in a production line to another conveyor in a packaging line. The robot is often guided by a vision system.

Using standard elements, FlexLink can supply a wide range of pick & place (P&P) units, for handling everything from small lightweight goods such as a plastic bottle, up to heavier applications in the automotive industry. Loads up to 50 kg are possible.

Whilst each application tends to be unique, the pick & place systems make use of the standard elements and controls, and FlexLink provides a complete service from analyzing the application to final installation and commissioning.

Re-orientation of products is used to rotate or flip e.g. packets to suit the feeding of the following packaging machine.

Solutions to gently transfer a selected product from one conveyor to another or to a machine.

FlexLink provide services, support, tools and spare parts to safeguard your investment and ensure total efficiency throughout the equipment lifetime.
