FlexMove FX Conveyor System
Installation
Introduction
The main purpose of this manual is to help self-building end
users, with little or no prior experience, to assemble a
FlexMove conveyor system. Each chapter includes detailed
instructions and pictures showing how to assemble the
different parts.
Document Disposition
The document is divided into the following five main parts:
• Installation site preparations
• Tools and fasteners
• Assembly
• Start-up and testing
Initial Assembly Planning
Systematically working planning is required:
• Fully understand and studying the assembly drawing.
• Ensure the necessary tools are required.
• Ensure all the parts and materials are well prepared in
advance, following the parts list.
• Enough space for conveyor installation is important.
• Ensure the floor is even and so the foot can be properly
attached on the floor.
Safeguarding
All pinch and shear points, as well as other exposed moving
parts that present a hazard to users, is recommended to be
safe guarded.
When two or more pieces of equipment are interfaced,
special attention must be given to the interfaced area to
ensure proper safeguarding.
For overhead conveyors, guards must be provided if
products fall off the conveyor for some reason. The same
applies to all incline, decline and vertical conveyors.
Considerations
When correctly applied, the conveyor components are safe
to use or maintain. It is, however, necessary for those
responsible to design, installation, operation and
maintenance to be aware of certain areas when special
caution is required.
Assembly Order
During the conveyor assembly, the following items can be
used as a checklist:
• Cut all beams to desired length.
• Connect all feet and structural beams.
• Mount conveyor beam support brackets.
• Assembly conveyor beams and mount them onto the sup-
portstructure.
• Mount drive and idler unit at the end of the conveyor.
• Mount slide rail onto the conveyor beam.
• Check any obstruction of the conveyor with a short piece
chain.
• Assemble and mount necessary chain onto the conveyor.
• Mount guide rail and other accessories required onto the
conveyor.
• Read the final preparations at the end of this manual.

T-Bolt
T-bolts (Figure 7) can be entered from the beam side, and
when turned 90 degrees they will stay in place after
tightening with lock nuts. Use lock nuts to facilitate T-bolt
turning in slot. The indication groove in the T-bolt should be
at 90 degrees to the conveyor T-slot. T-bolts are used when
attaching support brackets, guide rails and drip trays to the
conveyor beam. T-bolts should not be used when fine
adjustment for exact positioning is required (use square nuts
or spring nuts for this type of application). Do not use T-bolts
with support beams.
Figure 7
Figure 7
Pre installation Information
Cutting FlexMove Stand Beam
Cutting is required for stand beams. Study your drawing to
determine the beam lengths required before cutting.
Saw Requirements
The circular cross-cut saw used for aluminum profile cutting
must be equipped with carbide tip saw circulating at high
speed for a clean cut. The saw should have the ability of
cutting the largest profile in one single cutting action.
Working Site
You should use a special area for cutting beams in order to
keep the assembly area clean.
Quality of Cut
If burrs are evident, they must be removed prior to assembly.
Make sure the cut is straight for proper assembly.
Assembly
The basic FlexMove conveyor structure consists of five
component groups (See (Figure 8) and (Figure 9)):
Figure 8
Figure 8
Figure 9
Figure 9
• Support structure
• Conveyor beams, straight sections, and bends
• Drive and idler units
• Chains
• Guide rail assembly components
• Other accessories
The first step in the assembly process is to assemble the
support structure, which consists of feet, support beams, and
beam support brackets. Most conveyor support designs are
based on vertical support beams, combined, if necessary,
with horizontal support beams. There are also a number of
different feet and beam support brackets, so check which
ones are suitable to use in your application.
A
WARNING
All safety precautions issued bythe cutting
saw manufacturer should be followed at all
the times.

Support Bracket Installation
Conveyor beams are mounted on to the support structure by
means of support brackets.
Horizontal beam support brackets (60mm or 80mm)
(Figure 14, item 1) are used for horizontal support structure
mounted to 64x64mm or 80x80mm support beams.
Figure 14
Figure 14
Conveyor Beam Installation
The next step is to connect conveyor beams – straight
sections and bends – to each other. Connect all conveyor
beams according to the instructions below.
1. Connect two conveyor beam ends by inserting
connecting strips (Figure 15, item 1) into the beam
inner T-slots. Use two connecting strips per beam joint.
Figure 15
Figure 15
2. Make sure that the set screws (Figure 15, item 2) do not
prevent the connection strips from sliding into place.
3. Tighten the set screws using a hex key
(Figure 16, item 1).

NOTE
Assemble the entire conveyor beam structure
in the same way. If the conveyor beam is too
long to mount onto the support structure in
one continuous length, assemble shorter
lengths and connect them to each other once
fastened to the support beams.

4. The slide rail (Figure 26, item 1) must be mounted
across the entire beam section. Remember to mount
slide rails on both top and bottom side of the beam
(unless top running chain only).
Figure 26
Figure 26
Slide Rail End Installation at
Connector Beam
1. Cut both slide rail ends at a 35° angle. The beginning of
a new slide rail (in the direction of travel) must cut back
at a small angle (Figure 27, item 1).
Figure 27
Figure 27
2. Allow a space of approximately 10 mm
(Figure 28, item 1) between two slide rail ends. The
travel direction is indicated by an arrow.
Figure 28
Figure 28
3. Do not place two slide rail joints (Figure 29, item 1)
opposite each other. Make sure there is a distance of at
least 100 mm (Figure 29, item 2) between them to
make the chain run smoother. This does not apply to
slide rail that begins by an idler unit or after a drive unit,
where joints are always parallel.
Figure 29
Figure 29
Try to let the slide rail run in as continuous lengths as
possible by reducing number of breaks, except in
circumstances stated below:
• It is recommended to use short slide rails 2–3m (78-3/4”–
118”) where chemicals may have an effect on the slide rail
composition.
• It is important to cut the slide rail and allow for elongation
in high load areas. Cutting is required in wheel and hori-
zontal bends (see following page), at idler units and where
the conveyor will be heavily loaded. This prevents the
slide rail from stretching out and entering into the drive
unit, which may block the chain movement.
• Never join slide rail in horizontal or vertical bends, since
forces are higher on the slide rail in these sections. Instead,
place the joint before the bend.
• Avoid joining slide rails on top of conveyor beam joints.
Center Slide Rail
1. Install center slide rail (Figure 30, item 1) onto center
rails of conveyor.

2. Verify that center bearing (Figure 31, item 1) is located
on the outer edge of center slide rail (Figure 31, item 2)
on conveyor frame.
Figure 31
Figure 31
3. To adjust center bearing assembly (Figure 32, item 1)
loosen screw (Figure 32, item 2) and adjust, as needed.
Figure 32
Figure 32
4. Repeat, as needed, for remaining center slide rail
assemblies (Figure 32, item 3).
Slide Rail Installation at Horizontal
Plain Bends and Vertical Bend
In plain bends with a small radius, the slide rail for the inner
bend should be cut so that it is only 10 mm wide in the bend.
This is to prevent an uneven slide rail surface. Stretch the
slide rail while mounting.
Drilling Slide Rail
1. Drill two holes near the beginning of each slide rail
section. Use the drill fixture (Figure 33, item 1) to
ensure clean-cut holes and the correct location of the
holes. The holes must be at the leading edge of the joint
piece, in the direction of travel, to hold the slide rail in
place when the conveyor is in use. Use a well sharpened
4.3mm, #18, or 11/64"drill bit.
Figure 33
Figure 33
2. Use a bigger drill bit or countersink bit (Figure
34, item 1) to deburr and countersink the holes. Also
make sure that there are no metal filings left underneath
the slide rail.

Fixing Slide Rail
The beginning of each slide rail section must be fixed to the
beam, since the chain will cause the slide rail to be pushed
forward. A slide rail which moves into a wheel bend or a
drive unit can block the chain completely. The riveting
method is more secure if the conveyor will run with high
operational speed or be heavily loaded.
Nylon Screw
1. Insert the nylon screws (Figure 35, item 1) into the
holes using a hex driver until the screw is flush with the
bottom of the slide rail.
Figure 35
Figure 35
2. Cut off the head of nylon screws by using flush cutting
pliers (Figure 36, item 1) or soft hammer and knife
(Figure 37, item 1). Remember, the cut must be made
away from the joint, in the direction of chain travel.
Figure 36
Figure 36
Figure 37
Figure 37
3. After the cut, make sure the slide rail surface is smooth
and the nylon screws do not protrude over the slide rail
surface. Use a file (Figure 38, item 1) to file off the
protruding edge if uneven surface is found.
Figure 38
Figure 38

NOTE
Nylon screws can be used multiple times
before being discarded. Ensure bottom of
screw is cut square before re-using.
