Guide rail system (continued)
Bending guide rail
If the construction of your conveyor system requires cus-
tomized guide rail bends, you can use the FlexLink guide
rail bending machine (3922963) to bend them according
to your own requirements:
Mounting:
To calculate the length of guide rail to be bent, use the fol-
lowing formula:
L= length of bend, r=radius,
α=desired angle, degrees
Add for straight section
If multiple bends with the same radius are to be made,
note the final position of the upper wheel indicator scale
to ensure correct radius of subsequent rails.
It is possible to bend angles up to 180°. Minimum
radius is 100 mm.
1 Mark the length of the rail to be bent. Leave an
approximately 200 mm straight section at each end.
2 Place the rail horizontally between the top wheel and
the lower wheels.
When bending guide rail, you should start bending
from the centre of the required radius.
3 Operate the crank to run the rail back and forth while
lowering the upper wheel step by step until the
desired radius and angle is achieved.
L = (6,28 × r ×
α )/360
