FlexLink is a world-leading swedish company, with deep roots in industrial manufacturing of high volume lightweight goods. FlexLink automates material handling processes within: filling, machining, assembly, and packaging.

The company was founded 1980 in the city of Gothenburg, as a spin-off from roller ball (bearing) maker SKF (Svenska Kullagerfabriken AB). In the 1970’s SKF embarked on a massive production rationalization program in Europe. A visionary project, “Production Concept for the 80’s” was launched with the aim to run the night shifts practically unmanned. To increase productivity and safeguard the product quality, a continuous, automatic flow of bearing rings was needed. This is why the FlexLink multiflex plastic chain conveyor system was developed.

[edit] Flexible conveyor solutions

The FlexLink conveyor is based on an aluminium conveyor beam with low friction slide rails guiding a plastic multi-flexing chain. Products to be conveyed travel directly on the conveyor, or on pallets/carriers. Products that are handled have a weight from a few grams up to 20 kg with a huge variety of shapes.
