Demands on production efficiency and automation are continuously increasing in all industries. FlexLink are taking small products production lines to new heights with the launch of the X45 and X45e conveyor platforms.
X45 is the new, compact conveyor platform which offers easy integration with machines and space efficient filling, production and packaging lines. Thanks to careful design, product handling is gentle and stable, contributing to high product quality standards and high line efficiency. The X45 design offers a long service life, low noise level and easy engineering.
“The compact boundary dimensions and the ability to run in bends allow new opportunities to automate sophisticated flows in a simpler way than before. The X45 conveyor runs very smoothly which is crucial e.g. in transporting standing vials in the pharmaceutical industry” comments Fredrik Boberg, Head of Innovation Management at FlexLink.
X45e is the intelligent platform for automated processes such as assembly, controlled filling and samples analysis. Sophisticated 24 V drive units and puck handling modules with embedded controls, simplifies controls engineering and enables high line efficiency. Power consumption is very low due to the efficient PM motor and transmission. All is RFID prepared, facilitating track & trace and automated QA capability.
“The X45e solutions with embedded controls and efficient PM motors open up new possibilities to make highly efficient production lines in an easier way than before. This is the first step in this direction from FlexLink” concludes Boberg.
FlexLink is a leading production logistics supplier – providing material and information flow management solutions to assembly and manufacturing industries. Based in Göteborg, Sweden, FlexLink has 701 employees, operates 27 sales units and is represented in 60 countries. In 2008, group turnover was SEK 1,446 million (€ 150 million).
