SMARTFLEX ELEMENT TYPE R

The ELEMENT is a big step for automation that thrives in even the tightest spaces. Maximize your machine’s potential, even in a small shop with limited floor space.

If floor space is a hot commodity at your shop, and you are looking to achieve the maximum throughput, can you still access all the benefits of industrial automation?

We have some good news. The answer is yes, and the SmartFlex ELEMENT is here to back us up.

The SmartFlex ELEMENT is a quick and efficient material loading and unloading system. But its small footprint combined with its ability to work in fully lights-out situations makes it a pocket-sized productivity powerhouse. Sometimes the best things in life really do come in small packages.
