Conveying and guiding is a time-tested method for transporting parts or intermediate products between automated process stations. Despite advancements in agile handling robots, this efficient and clever conveyance method remains highly relevant. Now, JW Winco has expanded its range with additional practical elements designed for common industrial applications.

Among the new offerings are essential side guides, available in both simple plastic versions and more complex double-row cylinder and ball roller configurations. These guides enable the safe movement of even delicate parts. When parallel guide channels are used, middle guides with rollers on both sides can be employed. Segmented guides facilitate the creation of curves, with individual segments secured tangentially using appropriate retaining profiles.

The range of compatible retaining clips, brackets, support feet, end pieces, connecting strips, end caps, braking rails, and lead-in guides provides maximum flexibility and professional solutions for a variety of unique scenarios. Adjustments and modifications can be made quickly and easily, often without tools.

The materials used include plastic for retaining and guiding elements, and aluminum and stainless steel for carrier profiles and screws, ensuring versatility and durability.

JW Winco's commitment to practical applications is evident in the variety of individual elements and assembly options available. For example, side guides are now offered in both the traditional 3,000-mm length and a more convenient 1,440-mm length, simplifying on-site handling and assembly while enhancing flexibility with more combination and adaptation options thanks to the consistent 120-mm shortening intervals.

With this expanded range of conveyor equipment, JW Winco provides everything needed for constructing unmotorized conveyor lines. This ensures that every assembly and transport situation can be achieved with standard parts -- efficiently, economically, and with the flexibility to adapt to both large and small changes.
