FlexMove FC (105 mm) Conveyor System
Installation
T-Bolt
T-bolts
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.

Pre installation Information
Cutting FlexMove Beam
Cutting is required for all 3m beams, including a precise cut
to 3m lengths. 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

• 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.
