CKF boosts partnership with Intralox
AS A result of the strengthened relationship, CKF Systems has been awarded a licence to manufacture Intralox ARB technology. This is a recognition of the in-house expertise and knowledge of the team in the CKF facility in Gloucester.
CKF is an established UK robotics and automation systems integrator with a long-standing relationship with Intralox, a global conveyance solutions leader. The licence to manufacture ARB technology in-house will also offer CKF more flexibility and scope to continue to design and develop industry-leading solutions for its customers.
The licence includes applications for 90 degree transfers that don’t need pushers or pop-up systems and a range of merge units, from simple inline merging to more complex systems capable of merging a large number of product lanes.
The CKF built equipment, using Intralox’s patented technology, allows higher throughputs and smooth handling of a wider range of products, with less maintenance and product damage than traditional merging and transfer methods.
Intralox corporate account manager Stephen Hubbard, says: “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.
“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.”
CKF Systems managing director Jamie Quinton, adds: “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.”
