Custom modifications for material-handling rollers and bumpers

By Lee Teschler | September 8, 2021

Share

Custom modifications are available for standard material handling rollers and bumpers. By modifying standard, off-the-shelf products, a significant amount of time and money are saved, relative to tooling and molding a completely custom product.

The products can be custom modified in various dimensions, shapes and sizes to meet the specific application fixtureworksrequirements. For example, the outside diameter (O.D.) of a roller could be turned down, or a bumper of a certain width could be produced. These modifications eliminate the typical design and production time necessary for a custom roller or bumper to be tooled up and molded.

In addition to the material handling rollers and bumpers, standard quick release ball lock pins are assembled to-order with stock on hand, and grip lengths (usable lengths) can be modified as well. Lanyards are also available and can be attached with a split ring or direct-to-handle.

Imao is known for its innovative One Touch Clamps, One Touch Fasteners, and Flex Locators, all of which are operated with no tools for quick changeover. Fixtureworks offers a complete lineup of workholding grippers, fixture clamps, material handling rollers and bumpers, quick release pins, adjustable handles, and a variety of machine components.
