EcoFlow – Manual roller sections bring everything closer

The manual linkage of workstations with EcoFlow eases worker strain because products and workpiece pallets are conveyed on manual slide sections.

121EcoFlow linking elements | MPS 5.03 842 538 281 (2013-11)

Assembly line operations are normally divided among multiple workstations. Besides making these workstations ergonomic, assembly line designers must also ensure that the various jobs and workstations are linked together in a way that maximizes efficiency and economy. Workers should not have to carry loads. At the same time, investment in such linkage need not be expensive, since the EcoFlow conveyor tracks work without any electric drive systems or controllers.

You can procure these conveyor tracks either fully assembled or as single components for self-assembly. A range of conveyor media allows you to optimally adapt the conveyor tracks to your goods: cardboard boxes and blister packs are carried on plastic or steel full-width

rollers, or you may choose to use slide sections. Its high level of stability also makes EcoFlow ideal for transporting heavy loads.

To complete your system you may add accessories such as stop gates for positioning materials at the workstation, or ball rollers for creating branch-offs and curves. All EcoFlow components are designed for use in combination with the products in Rexroth’s MPS and modular aluminum framing programs.

The system is fully ESD-compatible and may be used in ESD-sensitive areas.
