Case Studies: Worksmart Fleximate Transport Lines
This video library provides an overview of both standard and custom cells which Worksmart Systems has designed and constructed with our Fleximate Transport Lines. Our system is a hybrid of an ergonomic workstation and a conveyance. The basic building block is a modular workstation constructed with 1.5” od anodized aluminum tubing and fittings with a pair of horizontal tubes. A fleximate Transport Cart rolls on the tubes moving the production from position to position. The stations are connected together by the track tubes to create a custom cell. The Fleximate Transport carts are available it two standard sizes 12” deep x 18” long and 18’ deep x 22” long. Carts are customizable for size, top,fixture details, ESD protection and product rotation.
