The new roller table is designed using MiniTec's profile rail machine building system with a choice of 45mm x 45mm or 45mm x 90mm sections using the unique "Powerlock" fastening system that is well proven for rapid assembly.
Single or double-chain drive, roller materials, bearings, wheels or feet and a wide choice of standard accessories are available to tailor the system to the dimensions, loads and the ergonomics demanded by the job.
The RFK 300 uses bearings that are fixed and aligned within the profile system, simultaneously providing the guide and the cover for chains and chain wheels - offering protection and an aesthetically pleasing design solution.
