Gloucester-based robotics and automation solutions provider CKF Systems has strengthened its partnership with conveyance company Intralox, as it has been awarded a licence to manufacture ARB technology.
Jamie Quinton, managing director CKF Systems, said: “We really value our relationship with Intralox and are delighted to have been awarded this licence to manufacture ARB technology in-house.
“It’s a testament to the strength of our relationship with Intralox and also the skill, expertise and knowledge we have in our team at CKF – we are delighted to have been recognised by Intralox in this way.”
The licence includes applications for 90-degree transfers that don’t need pushers or pop-up systems and a range of merge units, from inline merging to more complex systems capable to merge a large number of product lanes.
The CKF built equipment, using Intralox’s patented technology, is designed to allow higher throughputs and smooth handling of a wider range of products, with less maintenance and product damage than traditional merging and transfer methods.
“Intralox are pleased to extend our preferred partnership with CKF by granting a licence to supply our unique range of Passive ARB applications as part of their pack handling systems,” said Stephen Hubbard, corporate account manager, Intralox.
“CKF have demonstrated a high quality and service approach to our mutual customers that is consistent with Intralox which made this a natural next step in our long-term business relationship.”
