System data Typical noise levels

•25 m maximum conveyor length•20 m/min maximum conveyor speed•Standard pallet sizes from 240×240 mm up to 640×640 mm, including rectangular sizes•30 kg maximum pallet weight (8 kg pallet weight/100mm conveyor•250 kg maximum accumulated weight at 5 m/min. During normal conditions a noise level below 65 dB(A) can be obtained in an XT conveyor system, including transfers, stops, etc. However, be aware that the pneu-matic components (valves, etc.) very much affect the noise level if they are not enclosed correctly. Also, throttle valves must be adjusted correctly at transfers, stops, etc. The following table shows typical noise levels.*No standard speed dB(A) 56 58 61 65 70

The modular concept

Introduction

The modular concept includes six groups of modules that have been defined to suit the various industrial demands.Most of the conveyor modules can be connected back to back by a connecting kit to form the desired conveyor layout. Other modules such as the transfer module or the locating function module can be incorporated as required.The module groups are: •Conveyor modules•Support modules•Transfer modules•Stop function module•Locating function modules•Lift-and-rotate modulesEach module is explained in more detail later on in this section of the catalogue.

Shipment

Modules are normally delivered in flat boxes with a max- imum length of approximately 3 m. See photo below. Conveyor modules will be delivered in sections of maxi-mum 3m which are easy to reassemble. More detailed information regarding each module is provided in the section describing the modules. An assembly manual is available describing how to assemble and connect the modules. Maintenance and spare parts manuals are also available. Speed m/min.510152030*

Accessories and spare parts

Accessories and spare parts for the XT modules can also be ordered. Those products are listed after the module descriptions. See page235 to260.

Ordering process

Every XT module has its own unique order code which can be found in each module description. The various options available for each module are shown in the order code and all the parameters have to be specified when ordering.It is important to know that by ordering for example a conveyor module, you do not automatically get a support module. This has to be ordered separately.

Product configurator

The easiest way to order XT modules is by using the online product configurator. You can find this webbased configurator at the Flex-Link website http://www.flexlink.com. 214
