About this manual
1 About this manual
1.1 Introduction
The main purpose of this manual is to help self-building end users, with little
or no prior experience, to assemble a FlexLink WL conveyor system.
Each chapter includes instructions and pictures showing how to assemble
the different parts.
1.2 Document disposition
The document is divided into the following five main parts:
• Installation site preparations
• Tools and fasteners
• Cutting FlexLink beams
• Assembly
• Start-up and testing
1.3 Installation site preparations
1.3.1 Assembly planning
Work systematically:
1 Prepare by studying your assembly drawing.
2 Ensure that the necessary tools are available.
3 Make sure you have all the materials and components needed to
assemble the conveyor system. Check with the parts list.
4 Make sure you have enough floor space to mount the conveyor
system.
5 Check to see if the floor at the installation site is even, so that all
feet can be properly attached to the floor.

Fasteners
4.2 Slot nuts and square nuts
XCAN, XLAQ
Square nuts can be used in support beams and small beams instead of
XCAN nut
XCAN nuts. They do not stay in place in vertical positions and have to be
inserted from the beam end.
When using XLAQ square nuts, remember to put in a sufficient number before completing the assembly.

IMPORTANT
Figure 1 XCAN
On the support beam, the slot nut can be entered into the T-slot from the
beam side. It will s
tay in position in vertical T-slots because of a thin leaf
spring.
Slot nuts can not be used with conveyor beams.
4.3 Connecting strips
Figure 2 Connecting strips
Connecting strips are used for joining beams together, end to end. Use Allen key and set screws when attaching the connecting strip to the beam.

4.4 T-bolts
Figure 3 XLAT
Fasteners
T-bolts can be entered from the beam side, and when turned 90° they
will
stay in place after tightening with nuts (XLAN 8) and washers (BRB
8,4×16). The indication groove in the T-bolt should be at 90° to the conveyor T-slot.
T-bolts are used when attaching support brackets, guide rails and drip trays
the conveyor beam. Do not use T-bolts with support beams!
