Assembly workstations
Provide modular conveyor sections alongside manual or automated assembly processes.
Modular frame construction
Aluminium-Profile Conveyor Systems
Aluminium-profile conveyor frames and modular structures for production, assembly, inspection and material-transfer stations.
Overview
What this system does
Aluminium-profile conveyors use modular extruded profiles and compatible brackets, supports and guarding to create configurable conveyor frames. The conveying medium may be selected separately—such as belt or modular chain—so frame material alone does not define the conveyor’s load or performance.
Main applications
Inspection and testing
Support product movement through checking, testing and quality-control stations.
Machine connections
Connect compact machines and work cells with configurable frame and transfer sections.
Reconfigurable lines
Use modular construction where future adjustment, guarding or accessory mounting is important.
Operating principle
How it works
Aluminium-Profile Conveyor System
Aluminium-profile conveyors use modular extruded profiles and compatible brackets, supports and guarding to create configurable conveyor frames. The conveying medium may be selected separately—such as belt or modular chain—so frame material alone does not define the conveyor’s load or performance.
A simplified illustration of the motion — not to scale and not a performance simulation.
Available configurations
Possible arrangements
Profile frame belt conveyor
Aluminium profile structure with a separately selected belt and drive arrangement.
Profile frame chain conveyor
Modular frame supporting a compatible plastic-chain conveying path.
Workstation conveyor
Conveyor combined with adjustable supports, guides and operator interfaces.
Machine infeed / outfeed
Compact frame and transfer sections matched to adjacent equipment.
Technical design basis
Technical characteristics
These items identify the information used to engineer this equipment. Numerical limits appear only where the referenced catalogue supports them; other values are confirmed for each project.
The supplied gallery has a dedicated aluminium-conveyors category with four references. The images show aluminium conveyor structures; they should not be read as proof of a particular profile series or load rating.
| Profile series & section | Selected from structural load, span, stiffness and accessory compatibility. |
|---|---|
| Conveying surface | Belt, chain or roller type selected independently for product contact and process duty. |
| Frame deflection | Checked for product load, conveyor span, support spacing and dynamic operation. |
| Mounting & accessories | Footing, brackets, guarding, guides and sensor mounts coordinated with the machine layout. |
Engineering considerations
What ENTRA needs to engineer the right solution
A useful proposal starts with operating conditions and interfaces. Final sizing is confirmed by engineering review.
Conveying medium
Identify belt, chain, roller or other conveying element; aluminium frame is not a substitute for medium selection.
Structural loading
Product load, frame span, support spacing, deflection limits, dynamic effects and anchoring.
Environment
Corrosion exposure, cleaning chemicals, temperature, contamination and required finish.
Integration
Machine interfaces, guarding, sensor brackets, cable routing, adjustable feet and maintenance access.
