Autoflex-Enclosed Track Conveyor 3″ P&F Conveyor System
ASI’s state-of-the-art Overhead & Inverted Power & Free Enclosed Track Conveyor product was developed by ASI’s engineering department which has been working with all types of Power & Free systems for over 25 years. Our AUTOFLEX and Three-Inch Overhead & Inverted Power & Free product lines were developed to complement our Four-Inch and Six-Inch Power & Free products.
Our Three-Inch systems are designed for loads up to 1,000 pounds per carrier and are also ideal for much lighter loads. The system utilizes enclosed track power chain for conveyors with low chain pulls and X-458 chain for longer conveyors. A unique feature is that both power chains may be used in the same system.
The system is also designed for automatic carrier tracking and inventory control systems that utilize bar coding in conjunction with programmable controllers, microprocessors, or full computer systems.
3″ O.H. POWER & FREE AUTOFLEX®
Advantages of ASI Autoflex
System Flexibility
Designed for use with Autoflex & X-458 ASI chain
Free Trolleys transfer from the Autoflex Conveyor onto ASI’s X-458 power chain
Eliminates need for multiple in-line drives required on extended enclosed track systems.
Enclosed power track protects chain from dirt and debris
3″ Structural Channel Free Track (vs. formed sheet metal used by others)
Hardened wear surfaces
Retractable dog on the trolley (vs. pivoting chain dogs used by others)
3” Inverted Power & Free system is well suited for painting room operations since the conveyor can be completely concealed below the product.
Horizontal & Vertical Curves: Standard 2′-0″ and 3′-0″ radius
Other ideal applications include automatic small parts assembly and precise product positioning for automation or any material handling requirements with live loads from a few pounds up to half a ton.
